@SwiftOnSecurity you'd have to translate @NOSRSS

HI @SwiftOnSecurity! Here is a list of federated Flipboard accounts:

To see publishers that are active themselves in the fediverse, not via Flipboard, you can take a look at @mho's spreadsheet:

We also share stories from some of those newsrooms every week using the #NewstodonFriday hashtag.

@SwiftOnSecurity
Many German public news is on here. Most prominently, @tagesschau

Most are exclusively German though.

And @derpostillon of course

@SwiftOnSecurity
Some might be at https://w.wiki/Cghb

@SwiftOnSecurity ok so here’s a weird one for you: The Japan Times @thejapantimes

They’re surprisingly good, and in English.

@SwiftOnSecurity

Here is also a self updating list of more than 1000 (verified) accounts from journalists on #Mastodon. Even sorted by (last) activity..

@Flipboard boosted thank you

@SwiftOnSecurity @Flipboard Also, please check out https://verifiedjournalist.org/ where thousands of journalists are independently verified :)

@SwiftOnSecurity @Flipboard

Wow, thanks for your list, that's very helpful! Maybe I'll built a bot to highlight some every day. Just like @MediaOnMastodon does for my list.

@SwiftOnSecurity @BBCNews Yes, @BBCNews is official

@SwiftOnSecurity @BBCNews here's the official list of the BBC ones from the BBC themselves:

@SwiftOnSecurity Flipboard is a professional news aggregation service, they used to be the default news provider on Samsung's launcher before Google news.

I believe every one of their fedi accounts just mirrors the stories from each source that makes it through.

@SwiftOnSecurity So many people have replied, including Flipboard's own Mastadon service, so I can only add that in hunting down the answer to this question I found an article with a discussion of the history: https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/07/with-this-latest-deal-flipboard-looks-to-build-a-news-ecosystem-beyond-x/

@hcj oh great!

@SwiftOnSecurity That's one of the cool things about @Flipboard being federated
