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

I still get The NY Times, but I will have to subscribe to some alternatives. It has soft-pedaled so many of Trump abuses.
I wouldn’t mind paying for one or two other good news outlets. Haven’t looked into Substack but I gather following several Substacks can get expensive.

Currently subscribe to WaPo but the rightward slant (and it so obvious - to the point of being comical) and sanewashing of the current administration is becoming more than I can bear. Had thought of switching over to the NYT but with everyone bending the knee I’m not sure it’s worth the trouble.
OTOH I’ve pretty much divorced myself from political discussion until the current nightmare ends. I do send $ to wiki and the Guardian but don’t much read either one.

Thinking of using the public library as a point of access for expensive publications like The Atlantic. Has anyone tried this?

Our library gives me online access to many publications from home, definitely all the biggies. Printed copies of many magazines and newspapers at the library. Current issues can be read at the library and you can check out back issues.
The online access is amazing.

@Steve-Miller yep, those are my complaints about WaPo and NYT.
@realplayer and @wtg my uni library provides access to tons of news outlets, but for whatever reason, they don’t have the Atlantic online version, which was why I ended up subscribing. I got one of those deals but I’ll have to decide whether to renew or not.
