What news sources do you pay for and why?

The post below from TechCrunch got me thinking about my news consumption and thinking I should be supporting at least one news organization for the content I read. What source would support and why?

Bloomberg terminal because it is the best way to get up-to-date financial and other news reported impartially. I also pay for Medium.

I pay for ProPublica because it's not-for-profit, thorough, aggressive, and impactful. By "impactful," I mean that many of their stories result in big changes, including resignations of corrupt politicians, new bills to prevent corruption, and (in the case of the financial crises) millions in fines against corrupt financial firms.

I pay for NYT, WaPo, The Guardian, and my local paper of record because I respect their editorial integrity and believe they still maintain the firewall between advertising and journalism.
