📌 📰 News feeds • PINNED POST (Expand this thread for feed info)

Hello! I am a creative technologist with a background in journalism, and I maintain these feeds as a service to the Bluesky community. In curating the list of organisations included in the feed, I try to keep it to news orgs that produce original journalism and that I can verify the accounts of.

I don't work for Bluesky and I don't present myself as an authority, though I've worked in news media the last decade and have a degree in journalism. I believe news content drives much of social media, and I make these feeds available hoping Bluesky becomes the home of realtime news online.

I try not to be a very strict gatekeeper of the feeds; if an account is verifiable (the account's handle is a news org's domain name) and the org produces original journalism, I'm generally okay including it. I consider it a firehose and not a platform. I discuss my approach in this blog post:

If there are any titles in the feeds you don't want to see, please go to their respective accounts and either *mute* or *block* them. Just because you don't like a title doesn't mean there aren't other feed users who find value in including that title. Over 100,000 people use my feeds every day!

There are multiple feeds, please choose the one that best reflects your news consumption preference — Reverse chronological (original): bsky.app/profile/aend... Trending: bsky.app/profile/aend... They are both generated from the same list of news orgs: bsky.app/profile/aend...

Thank you for reading! 💚 To hide this post from the feeds, go to post options (the "..." button) of the VERY TOP POST in this thread, and select "Hide post for me".

Additionally, a massive thank you to @graze.social for providing the infrastructure to host all the feeds! 💚
