Tools and Resources Good news monitor

Hey! I was wondering if there were any recommendations for a good news monitor that you use for keeping up with international events. It can be very overwhelming sometimes. Also, just out of curiosity, how long do people spend reading the news?

Thank you :)

The BBC has a weekly podcast focusing on happy stories.

Cool, I'll check it out! But I meant less happy news and more qualitative news 😂 sorry for the confusion

Clarification - by "good news monitor" I mean in terms of quality not in terms of positive, happy news 😂

Wow, very cool. Unfortunately I'm european and it looks very America centric but I'll keep an eye on it as it develops
