I was doing research, trying to locate Creative Commons licensed news content for a project that I have been working on.
My goal was to find a CC licensed news source for every state in the U.S.A. This really took me down the rabbit hole, and to be honest, I haven't finished my research yet. I'm nowhere near finishing. But in the process of long hours of searching, I did uncover a lot of decent CC licensed news sources. Even in its unfinished form, I think I have assembled enough content here to be useful for others who want to discover and utilize Creative Commons news content.
My learning is that there is a ton of high quality news out there licensed under Creative Commons, but it is not well organized. The problem is that there is no complete centralized source to help you identify these sources. And many of the sources don't flagrantly advertise their CC license.
Creative Commons has a partial list of sources. Wikipedia, being itself the largest CC resources on search, also has a list. I think my list (below) is probably as good as either of theirs.
I'll keep updating this as my research progresses. If you know of other good CC news sites, please post them in the comments below. I especially still want to find one CC news source (newspaper, radio, blog, etc) for each state. I'd be greatful if you could help me with that.
Meanwhile, I have also decided to CC license this list, and this entire blog under Creative Commons license: Attribution-Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0), because its not fair to take without giving something back.
