10 publishersWhy source breadth beats source loyalty
A single outlet, however good, has one set of sources, one audience, and one house view of what is obvious. Reading several on the same story is the cheapest available correction: what they agree on is usually solid, and where they diverge tells you exactly where the interpretation begins.
Alto indexes mainstream, independent, and alternative publishers side by side and links every headline back to the outlet that wrote it. Listing a source is not an endorsement of its reporting — see Methodology for how sources are selected, and the full source directory for every feed in one list.
