I use many other sites for news and searching, but I keep coming back to the BBC site because it's reliable, impartial and free from advertisements.

It's independence is constructed in legal terms through its charter and governance, but is rooted in the fact that the BBC is much valued by the UK public, and elsewhere around the world. There are good and bad commercial sites, but the fact that they have private funding doesn't make them independent.

You might also like to try http://www.channel4.com/news/ which is another UK broadcaster renowned for the quality of its news and current affairs programmes.

The BBC provides a balanced, in depth view of world and local news. Funded mainly by the licence fee it has a remit to provide balanced reporting, and is subject to the scrutiny of the BBC Trust... "The Trust represents the public and makes sure the Executive delivers the high-quality public service programmes and services the public want, and also ensures that the BBC is accountable and open. The Trust protects the independence of the BBC from commercial or political influence." There's more here http://www.bbc.co.uk/annualreport/trust/governance/trust_gov_impart.shtml
