I'm working to create a better (more organized) list of news orgs (not individual journalists, but organizations) for Mastodon/the Fediverse. It may take a few days (or longer). I will try to keep it updated. We'll see how that goes.

If you know of a news org's official Fediverse account and don't see it on the above list, please comment with its name.

@ZhiZhu There is also @Mediapart.

@Sylvhem @Mediapart

Thanks! Added to list of non-English language news orgs.

@mulemuscle @eldiarioes

Thanks! Already added under Spanish language news.

Please check the new updated list.

@ZhiZhu Also our sister sites, @TheConversationUK, @theconversationau, @TheConversationAfrica and our global @TheConversationClimate And were @thenarwhal and @thenation on your list?

@TheConversationUS

Thanks! I've tried to add all the various news org accounts to the two posts (so far) in this thread.

@ZhiZhu Bylines Network does actually have real journos writing for it, not just "citizen journalists"!!

@Judeet88

I'm giving them the label that they give themselves, "a family of 10 online citizen journalism publications representing different regions, nations and accents of the UK"

Since I'm not familiar with them, I need to go with what they say about themselves.

But thanks for the help!

@zarton @andryou

Thanks, but I'm currently not listing bot accounts.

@ZhiZhu @restofworld is also here with their own instance!
@ZhiZhu The folks over at @macstories fully migrated yesterday and are running their own insurance.

@telorand @macstories

Interesting, but I'm not sure that's really a news org, but I'll keep it in mind.

Thanks!

@ZhiZhu

@BylinesNetwork have created an instance which features all their UK regional Citizen journalist publications.

@smiggs

I think I'll have to add another post with non-mainstream news accounts.

I've added @BylinesNetwork to the list.

Thanks!

Bylines Network (@[email protected])

Attached: 1 image 'TIS DONE!! 🔥 All the #Bylines publications are now on Mastodon AND on our own #BylinesNetwork (Bylines.Social) server. They are: 1) The English regionals: @YorksBylines @NEBylines @BylinesEast @CentralBylines @NWBylines @KentBylines @SussexBylines @WEBylines 2) The nationals: @BylinesScotland @BylinesCymru Do make sure you're following your local #Bylines - or better... ALL of them! And you can see their combined Mastodon output here: https://bylines.social/public/local Pls share & enjoy!

Bylines Network

@peter

I'll be doing another post with non-mainstream news accounts.

I've added @BylinesNetwork to the list.

Thanks!

@ZhiZhu
I think
@sfstandard actually had their own instance. I might be wrong

@cmonster

No, they are actually part of a geographic instance for the San Francisco Bay Area.
https://sfba.social/explore

SFBA.social

A Mastodon instance for the San Francisco Bay Area. Come on in and join us!

Mastodon hosted on sfba.social
@ZhiZhu There is @thevallejosun for Vallejo, CA and surrounding areas.

@MichaelMcMillan @thevallejosun

Thanks, but it's already on the list under "News orgs that have created official Mastodon/Fediverse accounts"

@ZhiZhu

@hyperallergic is here as well—primarily art news. almost positive it’s real and not a repost bot.

@ZhiZhu @TexasObserver @TucsonSentinel @ProPublica @texastribune @damemagazine @COTimesRecorder @rferl @msfreepress @Chron @themarkup @TheConversationUS @sfstandard @sfgate @sfchronicle @RollingStone @restofworld @gbhnews @theintercept @thevallejosun @thenarwhal @thenation

What tools have news organizations and other companies developed to harvest and manage data from their proprietary instances, or from the fediverse at large? Seems like that should be a story in and of itself.

@ZhiZhu 👋 We’re a nonprofit independent news and analysis publication focused on Palestine, Israel, and related US politics.

@ZhiZhu

My workplace, Truth Or Fiction, has joined
https://mastodon.social/@TruthOrFictio[email protected]

@aboynamedart

Thanks, but Truth or Fiction is not exactly a NEWS site. It's more like Snopes.

@ZhiZhu We do original reporting on top of fact-checking. Also our team is made up of former Snopes staffers and managing editor. So you're splitting hairs for no good reason.
@ZhiZhu I would further refer you to my own original reporting on trumped-up "fentanyl overdose" stories https://www.truthorfiction.com/san-diego-sheriff-fentanyl/
News Organizations Uncritically Spread Sheriff’s Fentanyl...

Medical groups have flatly said that it is impossible to overdose by touching the substance.

Truth or Fiction?

@aboynamedart

Okay, I've added @TruthOrFiction to the list under Subject Specific news

@ZhiZhu Thank you for reconsidering. As a small independent news outlet this type of inclusion is especially important.
Does anyone know about Indian and south Asian news sites here?

@vanderbeeken

I've added @mondiaalnieuws under Dutch-language news.

I'm not sure about @FTAV being a news org. I'll have to think about it.

@CNN_Europe is not an official account as far as I can tell.

I've added @euobserver and @euractiv under EU news

and @euractiv_green (energy & environment) under Subject Specific news

and @bz under German-language news.

Thanks so much!

@ZhiZhu

Thanks.
Financial Times Alphaville is a bit of a tech/innovation lab of the FT. What is interesting is that they set up a Mastodon instance.

@vanderbeeken

Yes, I am interested in News-ish accounts that have set up their own instances. I will examine it more when I have some time. I'm just not sure it really counts as a news org, but I'll keep an eye on it. I've added it to my "to be considered" list.

Thanks again!

@ZhiZhu Is the New Yorker here yet?

@peiferlabunc

Not as far as I know. If someone else knows for sure, please let me know.
