I’m the same. I check out AP in the morning to see the headlines. There’s so much less actual news than we are led to believe that the headlines are usually enough. There’s a ton of perpetual recapping going on that is not at all helpful to my anxiety. The problem with video is that they are disincentivized for brevity. They take a paragraph of news and make it a 30 minute diatribe.

I also use Guardian and AJ. I read about a third of the stories from Atlantic.

There are others doing important journalism but they tend to be long-term investigative pieces that are often not all that obviously accessible or relevant to most people. They are not a substitute for a paper of record. They’re more like magazines. I’m also really resistant to video. I’ve never been a fan of TV news. Moving it to YouTube doesn’t help.

@anneapplebaum I’m so bummed that I no longer have the NYT or the WaPo as reliable papers of record. I can no longer support either one. All I have left is The Atlantic.
