I will start by what I know:

  • 404 Media [Tech news].
  • aftermath [Gaming news].

Any others?

        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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

        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.
