What news media do you pay for/subscribe to?
-
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.

Good memory, @realplayer

Thanks everyone! I wasn’t necessarily looking for more news sources, although this thread and the earlier one that @realplayer reminded us of are helpful.
I was more just curious about how many news sources people actually pay for.(actually, I included Pianist Magazine and that’s not news!
I imagine that in the past, most people (?) had a newspaper subscription and they had the paper delivered to their house. These days, very few people do that, and we have access to all this stuff online, but some of it of course is paywalled. …
