I pay for the Guardian and WaPo, and I’m pretty happy with this so far: I use one for UK/EU/world news and the other for US/world. You see different perspectives from each side of the ocean, and they both do great journalism that I want to support (IMO).

I would definitely pay for a third if I thought it was worth it to me. I can imagine if I was in finance I’d pay for FT or something.




The FT is a great general paper, I pay for it although I no longer work in finance. Probably the best UK paper.


I don’t work in finance exactly, but only pay for them. But I would rather pay per article over several websites instead anyway.

Well, not that different.

Both are parts of the same echo bubble (the other-side analogue would be following e.g. Fox News and Daily Mail -- either bundles not only fail to get the other-side perspective, but miss tons of nuance not available to neither one or the other "mandatory" side of establishment sources).
