What media sources do you subscribe to?

NOT -- what do you read; what do you actually pay for?

I keep reading comments from people who think "information should be free". People were obsessed today with what Rachel Maddow had about Trump's taxes, but some people said they didn't have cable TV service. So what media sources do you actually provide financial support to?

Personally, in addition to having a cable TV account (which results in payments to CNN, MSNBC and BBC News), I have a 7-day a week print subscription to the New York Times (have had one since 1977), and digital subscriptions to the New York Daily News, the Washington Post and the Guardian, and a subscription to The Atlantic.

How about you?

I got rid of cable, but use my dad's login info to watch CNN via my Roku. So my dad pays for me to watch CNN. No MSNBC channel yet on Roku. I also donate monthly to PBS.
