I subbed to the legacy-media NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS and the writer-owned indie FLAMING HYDRA (@flaminghydra.com). I'll also shout out the Center for Public Integrity, a journalistic nonprofit (who not incidentally has won a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting!)

An NYT subscription costs you about $115 dollars per year all in.

If that's your budget you can pick up Flaming Hydra which costs you $36/year
flaminghydra.com#/portal/signup

Save $80 and "provocative" takes from the sort of person you wouldn't have in your house.
