What news media do you pay for/subscribe to?
-
What news media (whether online or paper) do you pay for or have a subscription to? Especially traditional outlets, but others as well.
I used to have more paid subscriptions, but I have access to so much through my uni library. I canceled WaPo (on principle) and NYT (bc I get it for free through my uni). Right now I’m only paying for three subscriptions: the Japan Times, the Atlantic, and Pianist Magazine. All online.
Do you pay for any “non-traditional” news media outlets or online sites (e.g., a Substack account or Medium)?
I sometimes donate to Wikipedia and since I read the Guardian a fair amount, I was thinking maybe I should donate to them as well.

Wapo, NYT, The Atlantic, The Dispatch. I pay for a few podcasts and/or substacks - Sam Harris, Andrew Sullivan, Ken White, Matt Yglesias. I think that's it. Nate Silver during election season only.

It’s a center right never-trumpian group. If you’re the kind the person who seeks a range of views but doesn’t want to dive into cult fandom in the attempt then it’s a great site.
Most people aren’t looking for a range of views, they’re looking for confirmation. So I only recommend it selectively.
-
I pay for TPM, The Guardian, and three substacks: The Contrarians, Robert Reich, and Paul Krugman. WaPo is not trustworthy, and the NYTimes has really questionable judgement, so I bid them farewell last year.
Other sites I visit regularly, but not necessarily often: Politico and ProPublica. I also visit JMG every day but it's free.

Just for comparison, we had a thread called News Sources back in April, with more recommendations. I couldn’t figure out how to link directly to it here.
