- NYT (a gift, one subscription actually buys you two people’s access)
- WaPo (i dropped it for a while, but they have good news, still, and they offered a year for $20, and i haven’t yet boycotted Amazon…)
- Reuters (used to be free, well worth paying for)
- My local newspaper (my husband gets it in hard copy)
- The New Yorker
- The Wall Street Journal

Also a couple of Substacks. Your local epidemiologist does a little “investigative reporting”, if you define that broadly. So does “New Scientist”. (that’s a subscription, not a substack.) And i give money to NPR and The Guardian and Pro Publica, all of which do investigative reporting. I also subscribe (but don’t give money) to CBC, AP news, Al Jazeera, and Ars Technica.

Yes, i get a lot of news alerts. I still get news alerts from the Economist, even though i stopped paying them and asked them to stop sending stuff to me.
