These are really good and also I do recommend for local news reading the website of your local NPR station. WHYY is really good for Philly news, for instance. WGHB has a weirdly conservative bent for Boston in the op-eds but the local news articles are still excellent.

Also check your local library for what newspapers they give digital access to. There's something really nice about just looking at the newspaper once a day for a daily dose of and then stopping and not following it until the next day. The NYTimes has some awful biases but is still just good for like OK that's the big headlines of the day. If you're smart enough to see the biases present it's good for stuff like how's Ukraine doing and it also gives you a sense of what the world looks like to the average person. Which I find useful.

For COVID news in the US try The People's CDC and BioBot

Echoing NPR, specifically their daily email. It is by no means 'leftist', if that's what you're explicitly looking for, but it has the major bullet points for the day with summaries, and one or two more lighthearted, local, or small things. I consider it a nice medium between "plugged in (doomscrolling)" and "hidden under a rock".

i get some basic info from work, because i indirectly work for a large mainstream news source in my country [which i will not name]... BUT they have a very liberal/moderate bias; not necessarily lying about things all the time, if you can sift through to the facts, but they do some choice emphasis/deemphasis that can be very numbing/demoralizing/propagandistic. tbh. i should be better at following news more regularly outside of that but typically i'll try and fact-check/critically read stuff i see on social media, and also i've found democracy now to be pretty good. also sometimes podcasts. "live like the world is dying" has occasional news updates.

a big part of the problem is, outside of the org papers and places that use contributors more than staff, it's hard to both hone your understanding of the on the ground actual tactics, and churn out writing. so the outlets usually lag behind by months in action and up to decades in personal growth.

especially when you barely pay enough for one person for an article, but so many of these really need to be collaborative
