True, journalism has been democratized, do you have any recommendations?

I seem to have difficulty finding them

I like reading the investigative stories at Talking Points Memo's Longform section (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/longform), and I'm also a fan a lot of the original work at Pando (https://pando.com/). I tend to follow the source links on a lot of the more popular sites and see if the original is worth a RSS subscription.

I'm not sure I'd consider Pando real journalism (maybe they've changed since they're behind a pay wall). Funded by VCs and they write about the tech industry.

I like the week.

Not to my taste, but I can definitely see why someone would like it. Still pretty good. Thanks!

I'll add Bloomberg. Esp their radio. Esp__2 their law program.

I love Bloomberg and WSJ!

A friend recommended this. I went to their website and there was an article on guns (it was just after one of our horrific gun violence incidents) and their solution: arm everyone. That was really the conclusion from the op-ed, make sure everyone has a gun.

No thanks.

It's an aggregator mostly. (Re) prints from many sides.

Definitely a case where it is a far better reading experience in physical magazine form than electronic. You can peek ahead to see where the opposing view or alternative view is going. The format is good for short attention people like myself

Yeah, definitely not worth reading any source that presents a different opinion from yours.

Yes, because all opinions are equally valid and calling out a so-called idiotic one makes me closed minded. Got it.

The Week is fine but it's mostly short attention span recaps of what's been reported elsewhere. The question in this thread is where are the journalists who are doing investigative stories that take months (e.g. Spotlight) and the answer is that they exist but there are a lot fewer than there used to be.
