MODERATORS
There are thousands of them. Many would be called “blogs” or “YouTube channels.” I would ask a narrower question.
I specified written. Independent news commentators are everywhere since video format is still a profitable model, but they all rely on written news sources or random social media posts.
Right, so aside from podcasts and YouTube & other video sources. Which brings us back to blogs, essentially, of which there are tens of thousands. Patreon & Substack are two popular platforms for persons and small teams publish on to (try to) make a living. I could list out my Patreon & Substack subscriptions, but as I said there are thousands.
But now that I think about it, you said “news sources.” But virtually none of these are “news” sources so much as “analysis” sources, or in a few cases “investigative reporting” sources. News reporting is very expensive, which is why for instance Reuters & Associated Press (AP) exist and other news outlets republish.
