I find it's better to follow independent journalists that you have vetted over a period of time. Outlets are prone to agendas and corporate-political influence. Independent journalists, much less so. But as @edulopesf said, you gotta mix it all up to help find the mean.

These are some more well-known examples, but good journalism doesn't require popularity; just that someone goes outside and accurately reports what they fucking see with their goddamn eyes.
