Y Combinator is Paul Graham's early stage VC platform. He has a community-driven news site called Y Combinator Startup News. Generally speaking, the site picks out some interesting stuff, but there's clearly some group dynamics going on that bias the stories that make it to the top. I'm not sure that helps creativity and originality in sourcing stories. Certainly not a lot of critical thought pieces.
For that, I'd recommend Om Malik's GigaOm site. Like any individual site, it's going to be idiosyncratic. But, at least his posts don't come off as playing to the crowd. He has an actual point of view.
