#12Legible News!
It's simple to read, and provide links to wherever necessary. No ads, just clean text.

I find it summarises the important international political/economic changes with some critical analysis.
I prefer this type of journalism rather than constant updates, although I do use both.

That's not true. Even if you are paying, you are still part of the product. Unless you have been given an explicit promise otherwise, most pay services are happily monetizing you the same as the free services.

“If you are not paying then you are the product” does not imply the negation “if you are paying then you are not the product.” Only the contrapositive.

I have been leaning toward news that doesn’t read you back (print newspapers). It is actually amazing how less inflammatory and clickbaity the paper is, even from the same news organizations.
Another obvious thing to keep in mind, look at the ads or the embedded ads to understand your fellow readers. E.g. is there outbrain/taboola stuff at the bottom, or ads for something a thoughtful person would be interested in?
