Recently I stumbled upon the following article of Zero Hedge:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-25/how-cryptocurrencies-spawned-new-media-industry

It lists various sources for Cryptonews as well as shedding some light on their history, policy and business models. I myself am a frequent reader of CCN.com primarily, for instance.

However, I can't really say that I have read different news sources, let alone compared them, so I was curious which others might make sense, or could potentially be even better. Can anybody suggest his/her favorits and why they turn to them before any other news source?
I'm sure all the different opinions we might acquire are to the benefit of us all. Therefore I am I'm eager to hear which news provider appears to be the most reliable (one important criteria would be that the suggestion is unbiased in their reports though).

The article lists the following ones (for anybody too lazy to read):

-Blockonomi
-The Merkle
-BitcoinMagazine
-Bitcoinist
-NewsBTC
-CNN
-Cointelegraph
-Bitcoin(.com)
-Coindesk

Thanks for participating and best wishes.

As far as I know you can pay most of them for an article, so far for unbiased?  Roll Eyes

All these news outlets are slightly biased, and that's because they frequently publish press releases uncritically, because they need to fill their website and they don't have the staff to do critical journalism.

I'll give you an example: The Litepay thing was hyped ridiculously with most of these news outlets publishing copes of Charles Lee's tweets about it.

But there was no critical journalism. Litepay claimed they would be issuing a VISA based card. No-one questioned this, despite VISA cancelling arrangements with Xapo, Bitpay, Bitwala and others 6 weeks ago.

Then yesterday, on the day Litepay was due to be launched, they said that they couldn't launch their card because VISA was being "hostile". And we're supposed to believe this was a surprise development!

The point I'm making is that none of the crypto news outlets flagged the potential problem, only forums and subreddits did...

Ok, quite frankly spoken, that is something that I missed completely; naive. Thanks a lot for clarifying.

However, it even emphasizes the second question: Which is a reliant source of information?

Subreddits were mentioned, but comparable to forums, it is often hard to filter posts with valuable content from some little kid's blind rephrase of some pseudo-expert's desperate try to astroturf a shitcoin they are holding a position in. Sure at least in this forum we have the member's rank as an indicator of their "expertise" - but apart from that?

Best wishes and thanks for contributing.

Too many to keep up with but coindesk have promoted screamingly obvious scams in the past and bitcoin.com is of course subtly nudging you into bcash, but it does have some good stories.

The only one that took it proper seriously was coinfire or something, not sure if it's still going. Many others will be compromised. There's far more money to be made being bent.

At least it's not as rancid as the mainstream places.
