Millions of us valued Twitter/X at times of breaking news. It was a way to get info, fast.

That value has been shattered by misinformation & a destructive algorithm.

We can now make Bluesky the go-to platform for news. Here's a list of (verified) journalists to keep up with UK breaking news.

Ah this is what I've waiting for.

^ been

johnthejack.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thanks.

Could maybe include some from #c4news

newseye.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thought I already had Krishnan and Cathy Newman in - have added in now.

Thanks

newseye.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thanks👍🙂

It claims that it's fully verified but how's it true? as far as I can see, many of them hasn't even the domain verification, which is the lowest level of basic validation.

newseye.bsky.social•96 days ago

I’ll keep this UK breaking news starter pack updated as UK journalists arrive on Bluesky and others are suggested 👍

newsbreakinglive.bsky.social•95 days ago

Would love to be included on any of your starter packs. I’ve worked in media since 2007, including for some big news brands on social media

newseye.bsky.social•95 days ago

Sure, I’ll add you to US Commentators pack👍👍

Thank you!

Thanx. Appreciated.

newseye.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thanks for the thanks :-)

jacquij.bsky.social•96 days ago

a starter pack for Scottish journos? journos that understand reserved matters, don’t assume homogeneity just because we’re Scot’s. No BBC propaganda, no establishment bias & perhaps recognition that the constitutional impasse prevents English based parties from putting a pro🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 position. Anyone?

newseye.bsky.social•96 days ago

Yes, @severincarrell.bsky.social has put together this starter pack of Scottish press👇

jacquij.bsky.social•96 days ago

Thank you. I’m so pleased

maxlegr00m.bsky.social•96 days ago

Amazing. Thanks for this mate

sensemusic.bsky.social•96 days ago

no one actually "Valued" twitter as it was never a reciprocal arrangement between the User and the platform using them most people just tolerated it cos there was no alternative now there is ! where we can make a safe Space for truthful open connections and foster new things https://bsky.app/profile/sensemusic.bsky.social/post/3lbh32xwmlc2a

📌Thanks something to look at latter, if I haven't already bookmarked this or similar pack.

paulcwgb.bsky.social•95 days ago

Difficult choice, watch the film Idiocracy or watch the daily series on MSM news!🤔

bc108.bsky.social•96 days ago

Yes, but can someone reassure me that we still get Ed Balls Day over here

niallsmother.bsky.social•96 days ago

Thank you - really helpful.

dharmaqueen.bsky.social•96 days ago

I'm loving bluesky. People are literate and articulate

bar6ara.bsky.social•96 days ago

Definitely! Was just thinking how I could once search my location after seeing an incident and find out what happened.

winstann68.bsky.social•96 days ago

Pleased to say I already follow all but one

danielleh17.bsky.social•96 days ago

This is the main reason a came to Bluesky! Multiple RELIABLE news sources in one place.

thinkingsabrecat.bsky.social•96 days ago

Better not include laura kuenssberg 😸😸😸😸

spikeyscabiosa.bsky.social•95 days ago

Am I doing something wrong here? I follow pretty much all of these but I still don’t get nearly as much ‘breaking’ news in the same way as I did on Twitter and virtually nothing on Israeli atrocities in Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank.

marshajdavid.bsky.social•95 days ago

Hoping that Bluesky becomes this place for breaking news!

danielgerber.bsky.social•95 days ago

Is there a way to turn a starter pack to a feed?

newseye.bsky.social•95 days ago

Yes, there’s a 3rd party application that does it. It turns a starter pack into a list which you can pin to home as a feed

I’ve turned a couple of starter packs into feeds using this👇
