I know a decent amount about environmental sciences and U.S. history. My goal is to make sure I avoid any ideological bias in my edits and I appreciate being challenged!

I try to follow a diversity of news sources.

My top sources are:

The New York Times (the paper of record!)

National Public Radio (strong news and cultural programing through a thoughtful, empathetic lens)

AAAS (top-tier scientific news)

Heatmap News (excellent energy & climate news)

Mother Jones (thoughtful investigative work; labor- and environment-focused commentary)

For additional news and analysis, I also trust:

AP

Reuters

BBC

Politico

E&E News

The Dispatch

Time

The New Yorker

The Wall Street Journal

ProPublica

Mainstream sources I read with more caution:

The Washington Post (basically reliable, just a bit sketchy post-Bezos)

CNN (pretty reliable, but very clear liberal bias)

The Guardian (sticks dogmatically to progressive narratives and can be alarmist on climate)

National Geographic (sometimes amazing, sometimes sensationalist; just hit-or-miss)

The Bulwark (interesting, if reflexive, centrist political writing; editorial standards can be lax)

Reason (interesting perspectives but sometimes spreads misinformation)

Good Florida News Sites:

Tampa Bay Times

Miami Herald

Orlando Sentinel

Suncoast Searchlight

Florida Trident

Seeking Rents

Sites I avoid:

The whacky world of WSJ Opinion
