@petergleick The Atlantic (unsure if I’ll renew), The Guardian, Scientific American (every few years), along with AP and Reuters, who do most of the non-local news reporting, plus a hyperlocal one.

Increasingly I’m subscribing to journalists such as: ProPublica, 404 Media, Allison Gill, Heather Cox Richardson, Molly White, Parkrose Permaculture, Popular Information, TechDirt, Truthout, and my public radio/TV stations.
