Ever since I got annoyed enough by the NYT to unsubscribe and even stop visiting for the free articles, I’ve been mostly cobbling together a news feed from CNN, LA times (subscriber for local stuff but it’s very limited) and occasional free raids of FT and BBC.

I check Fox News occasionally in an opposition research spirit. WSJ they say has good reporting, but the mix of economy focus and editorial bias makes it rare for me. Guardian occasionally but mainly because it’s free. It feels like a more inept version of the NYT.

Hindustan Times for India news. Long tail of drive-by reads from topically relevant outlets. Not counting a few substacks, the LA times is the only thing I subscribe to. Nothing feels worthwhile. But for now you can still cobble together a sense of the news this way.

I suspect most of you are in this boat. This us really begging to be an aggregator token-based subscription model. I’d gladly pay for say 100 reads a month across a sufficiently broad portfolio without major holes.

Similar to music sold only as entire albums 20 years ago? Wonder how Apple managed to break that when they started selling on iTunes

Napster made iTunes palatable to publishers and laid foundation for Spotify. We need the iTunes of news (probably apple news if they solve licensing)
