News is a commodity, and one that many newspapers don't even create (essentially just a compilation of re-written wire service publications and corporate/political PR press releases masquerading as "news" (often without attribution)).
The Guardian, Washington Post, and New York Times are likely the closest thing we have to news worth paying for, but I just get most of my news these days from social media sites like Reddit (and their linking directly to wire services in some cases), and find their non-trial prices rather high for very little ORIGINAL content.
Essentially if this was legitimately one high quality post a day, that might be more high quality original content than most newspapers.
New York times has done a great job moving into the web with teams dedicated to making beautiful interactive charts and graphs. That's what sets them apart for me. Even their coronavirus dashboard, which you can find anywhere, is much more elegant than on other websites.

The Verge (Owned by Vox Media) is a great example of this.

The same newspaper publishers are also on social media sites as well, but link directly to their own articles and 'select' some social media accounts as sources to include in their articles that fits their narative and their own bias.
Reading multiple articles and sources from other publications will give you some good skeptisim in which either side might have missed or omitted some information in their own reporting.
