How do you keep up with news from other countries? (self.asklemmy)

As an English speaker, most easily accessible news sources on the internet are very Americentric. Given the current state of global politics, I want to break out of that bubble.

I have dual American/Italian citizenship, so I'd like to keep up to date with Italian + EU current events. All I can find are the most major national scandals, Prime Ministers talking about Trump, and the results of ~~soccer~~ football matches.

So leggere un po' di italiano, but not enough yet to read a newspaper. How can I keep up?

Check BBC. They have pretty cood coverage of global news. Other might be Deutsche Welle, which despite the name is in English.

The best option would be to follow the news in Italian if at all possible. I actively follow the news in four languages and it really helps to show how differently they report on the same events. If you ever wonder why, for example, Sweden, Germany and USA have so different opinions on Palestine vs. Israel, just checking how their respective medias report about it in their own languages makes it clearer.
