I'm not sure if this counts, but I've enjoyed some pieces from The Conversation. They're detailed and written by someone who has experience in the subject
I give monthly to hellgatenyc.com for New York City local news
They are fully paywalled, I can't even read a sample of their articles. :(
Currently, I follow https://www.thecity.nyc for local news.
Haha that's amazing. I think some stories are available in the newsletter for free. But good on them for trying to figure out how to make enough money. They don't have ads, so it must be tough.

What is your take on the controversy?
Anything by Jeffrey Sachs - https://www.jeffsachs.org/
Anything with Naomi Klein - https://naomiklein.org/
Naomi Klein. 2nded.
This is a great thread, thank you so much for posting! I'm excited to go look at all these sources!
Just local ones.
Each of these is run on donations and subscriptions.
Canadaland is moving into the news space, adding to their media criticism roots. Though, I'm uncertain why Karyn Pugliese left. This thread on r/canadaland has the only clues I've been able to find.
Democracy Now! is my go-tonfor daily news. Amy Goodman may just be the journalist I trust the most in the world.
I know that there are problems with Substack. However, Mehdi Hasan is building something pretty special with Zeteo.

Many substacks…
- Line Noise is a good music one
- Rave New World
- Blackbird Spyplane
Very niche but https://www.sounderatheart.com/ covers soccer for Seattle. Mostly Sounders and Reign coverage. They're great!
The Free Press. (They are a monthly subscription) Journalists who left the New York Times. I find most of their articles to be refreshing and insightful. They seem to be truly middle-left for American politics. They don’t try and feed on outrage to gain clicks. You’ll find less low hanging fruit like Trump rage-bait, and provide more thoughtful, unbiased reporting like NPR used to back in the day. I learned about them from an article where a right-leaning NPR editor did an interview with them about lack of balance at NPR and was subsequently fired for his views. As someone who’s listened to NPR for decades It really hit home as I listened to it happen over the years in real time. I value balance over the unchecked shift to one side or the other. I really enjoy the Friday editorial newsletter, TGIF. The humor is a good way to wrap up the week.
If I have one complaint it’s that the stories skew Israel/Jewish heavy, but given that the founder is Jewish. I understand why and can forgive it. They have plenty of good talent working other stories so there is always a good read.
Yes, just what we need! Finally there's one source of news without that left wing bias!

Plenty of excellent journalists have been tied to corporate publications for decades. A couple great New Yorker staff writers come to mind, like Jane Mayer and Ronan Farrow
For games journalism I'm a fan of Jeff Gerstmann, fired for giving an actual review of Kane and Lynch 2, founded giant bomb with Ryan Davis, Dave Lang interviewer, and now doing his own thing reviewing games and energy drinks.
Ground News is not a news source.
It is sort of. Only events are the real source. Then there is the source of producing the news (which you’re meaning here). Then there is the source from which one gets their news, which Ground can be.
I prefer to get my info from a wire service like Reuters.
