SourceRead · Reading guide
What is a curated news feed?
A curated news feed brings reports from a selected set of sources into one stream. Instead of visiting each publisher separately, you can browse that stream and choose which stories deserve a closer look.
Curation, aggregation and personalisation
Aggregation collects items from different publishers. Curation selects which sources or items belong in a collection. Personalisation changes the view according to your interests. A service can combine all three; none, on its own, guarantees that a story is accurate or that every perspective is represented.
Read, listen and watch in SourceRead
SourceRead brings source feeds, podcast episodes and video items into one experience. Read suits a headline scan or a close look at a report; Listen and Watch offer the available audio and video items. The front page also offers continuous selected media playback after you choose to start listening or watching.
Availability depends on what the sources publish and whether a playable recording is supplied. Not every article has an audio or video version. Open the public front-page preview to see the current mix before creating an account.
Shape your feed by topic and region
- Choose topics you want to follow, rather than treating every headline as equally relevant.
- Select a region or country to view coverage associated with that area. This filters available coverage; it does not establish your physical location.
- Choose Read, Listen or Watch according to the time and attention you have available.
- Revisit those choices when the feed feels repetitive or too narrow. Compare local reporting with coverage from other regions.
A quiet regional feed can mean limited recent coverage from available sources, not that nothing happened there.
Keep the sources and evidence in view
A convenient stream is a starting point, not a substitute for checking a report. Look at the publisher, publication date, cited evidence and distinction between reporting and opinion. SourceRead’s Perspective annotations are machine-generated signals, not guarantees of truth.
The public Ledger explains evaluation, while Spectrum and coverage gaps help you examine the network’s strengths and limits. For a practical checklist, read how to spot media bias.
Build a manageable daily routine
Start with a small selection, then read one report beyond the headline. Save only what you realistically expect to revisit. Pair a familiar source with another account of the same subject, and leave room for topics outside your usual interests.
The daily reading habit guide offers a routine you can adapt. You can create an account to choose your topics and regions, or return to the front page to try Listen and Watch.
