If you are like me and feel that life is too short to spend it reading never-ending articles, you should read this post TWICE. You will discover many reliable sources that are actually pleasant and fun to read (or watch).
Internet is an infinite source of anything you are looking for at just one click. You just need to type it and google will do almost all the work for you! But what do you type when you are not looking for anything specifically, just because you want to get informed about what is happening? Just because YOU CARE?
Two news websites (and apps, of course) full of original content about everything that is going on and beyond.
Seriously, I can spend a whole day watching OZY's video channel. It covers many different topics, from "people who are accelerating our culture and advancing the conversation" to "tales from the past to titillate and educate -- and give you a lens on the present and future." You can follow OZY on Instagram and on Facebook, but what interests me the most is the "Presidential Daily Brief", a daily email with eight must-read articles. I love to read them while having breakfast because it makes me start my day feeling ahead of time.
If design is what interests you, Trendland is an online magazine focused on providing trend information about many different topics (design, fashion, travel, music, arts, culture, shopping, and the list goes on) to even the most demanding asthetes of the world.It has an active Facebook page, Instagram, Pinterest page and Twitter but if you want to be daily updated you can suscribe and receive the "daily newsletter", which is a daily email with all the latest trends and events.
Another similar website is NOWNESS, which is divided into: arts & design, fashion & beauty, music, food & travel, and culture. It defers from Trendland in that it is a video channel, so all information exposed is showcased through films. You can become a member and have your own customizable profile where you connect with other members, create and share playlists and also follow categories and other users you like.
Video news are become very popular. Molly Crabapple was one of the first to launch it. As an artist, she makes outstanding drawings about the subject she is talking about, making it more entertaining and more pleasant to the sight.
We Are Angry went even further and developed the concept of digital fiction by fusing texts with media and art. Even though its fiction, the strong experience that the reader goes through highlights the importance of women's rights. The medium is the messanger, not only the content.
