    What newspapers are people looking at? I cancelled my subscription so I need a replacement.

    For me, The Guardian is the current top of my list. But I’m really trying to find a good US based paper or news site.

    I’m considering NPR as well.


    I’m not necessarily against a weekly paper like The Economist. But it’d be different than my daily routine I’ve gotten used to. But there’s solid arguments that a weekly routine for news is healthier.

      Honestly, I would say a news agency like the Associated Press is really good for national and international news. I’ll say that I really like The Atlantic, but that’s more of a news magazine than a traditional newspaper. If you want a good mix with minimal sources, I would say Associated Press and The Guardian for national and international news; The Atlantic for political analysis; Mother Jones/ProPublica for investigative journalism; and a big newspaper in your state for statewide news (especially a major metropolitan area). Just off the top of my head, but those are ones I’d choose if I needed just a single source for those things.

      If you want, I highly recommend creating an RSS feed for multiple sources. I only started using it in 2024, but it works great.

      Do you live in or near a major metropolitan area? Most cities have news publications of some repute (see the recent LA Times debacle). I recall Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer being quite good in the past, and I’m currently subscribed to and satisfied with The Seattle Times, for example.

        Ah yeah. There’s this highly respected local paper around here called The Washington Post…

        Shit.

      The Guardian is a decent source. I recommend Democracy Now!, NPR (and any state-level equivalents), AP, Jacobin, Unicorn Riot, and outlets like that. There’s also some genuinely good independent news on youtube, like Democracy@Work
