Twitter (now X) has become the global newsroom of the internet.
While TV stations wait for airtime and newspapers print tomorrow’s stories, Twitter delivers what’s happening right now, unfiltered and in motion. Elections, wars, climate shifts, trade deals, protests, sports victories — if it impacts the world, it trends on Twitter first.
But speed comes with chaos.
Your timeline can easily look like this:
Breaking headline → random meme → ad → personal post → viral thread → earthquake alert → more memes.
News disappears under the algorithm pile. Important information gets buried. You open Twitter to learn — and end up scrolling aimlessly.
That’s why following the right news accounts matters.
Below are 8 reliable, verified, highly respected news sources you can follow today to turn your feed into a real-time global dashboard — clean, factual, and always ahead of the curve.

I Followed All of These — But News Still Got Lost in My Timeline
Even with these excellent sources, my feed was noisy.
News got buried under memes, sports debates, unrelated trending posts…
I was informed — but only if I scrolled long enough to find it.
So I needed a better system.
I Built a News-Only Twitter List & Turned X Into My Personal Newsroom
Now, instead of chaos, I have one clean list containing all the accounts above.
When I open Twitter, I tap the list and instantly see everything major happening around the world in one filtered stream.
No clutter. No distractions. Just news.
And I built and manage it using Circleboom Twitter.
Why Circleboom Was the Perfect Tool
Circleboom is an official Twitter/X partner, meaning everything it does is fully API-compliant, safe and recognized by the platform.

It's not a risky third-party tool — it's a professional Twitter management suite used by brands, journalists, researchers and content creators.
With Circleboom, I was able to:
✔ Search news accounts in bulk

✔ Edit, clean and manage lists anytime
✔ Organize news accounts without profile-by-profile manual work

Instead of scrolling endlessly, I control what I see.
Twitter shows me the world — but only the part I asked for.
