I like NPR and PBS but am curious if there are other good news sources elsewhere. Particularly elsewhere in the world, outside of the US.

Make sure to support your local news sources too. Lots of great suggestions here for staying up to date with national and world news, but your local newspapers serve a valuable role in keeping up to date on what local governments are doing in your communities, and holding them accountable.
Tough one. My local paper is a right wing propaganda sheet.
When I last subscribed they were also barely competent. I ended up reading it just to catalog the spelling and grammar mistakes.
I eventually ended the subscription accidentally. The paper would stop showing up, and I’d get a call from the subscriptions department asking if I wanted to keep receiving it. I’d say yes, and it would start showing up for a few more weeks, then stop again. Went through that process about three or four times before they stopped calling to ask if I wanted to receive it.
It took another month or two before I realized that the credit card that I used for the auto-payment for the subscription was one that I had lost and gotten reissued with a new number. By the time I realized what the problem was, I decided that it was for the best.
Oof, yeah that’s a good point. My county has a decent one and I’m happy to support them, but I wouldn’t pay for it if I was in your situation either.
Ironic cause, even if it’s a good news source, most people here would be unwilling to pay or disable their AdBlock to support it anyway
