I would say this forum's seniors are the most trusted people I will take any kind of advice from. There are many of them working tirelessly for this community, not just to make money. You can see them all over the discussion boards.
As far as media, they can sometimes be a little biased towards uplifting the coin/token they support, but not always. I personally follow some of them:
https://cryptomining-blog.com/: Latest news and reviews of crypto mining rig/hardware/Asics etc...and also news about new coins and such.
Bits Be Trippin' Youtube channel: This is one of the best source for all information regarding setting up miners (especially GPU rigs)
