mtbcWhere possible, I aim to browse the web anonymously so I delete session cookies frequently and employ various tracker- and ad-blocking plugins. This preference impedes use of most news websites. Especially, although I am willing to pay for news, I do not want to have to log in every time I return to a site. Typically, I avoid subscription-based sites like The New York Times and ad-insistent sites like The Christian Science Monitor.
Fortunately, a few news sources remain easily available to me. For the US, Canada and the UK, I find that NPR, CBC and BBC work well, supplemented by Al Jazeera for a wider view. News agencies such as AP and Reuters provide direct access to content. Of newspapers, The Guardian and The Sydney Morning Herald deserve a mention; I appreciate the former's willingness to decouple donations from subscriptions.
