Nov 2024

I have online subscriptions to:
1. The Baltimore Banner (Where I live)
2. The New York Times
3. The Washington Post (canceled, but I'm paid through Spring)
4. The Omaha World-Herald (my hometown)
5. The New Republic (online and print)

I contribute money to Maryland public radio, so I listen to NPR and go to their website.

I watch "60 Minutes" on CBS and "Frontline" on PBS.

I advise the student newspaper at a private university in Maryland.

I read.

ON EDIT:

I also have former students working in news (places such as the Denver Post, ProPublica, and the Sanders County Ledger in Montana), so I give those places my time occasionally if there's no paywall.

I invest in journalism because the best journalists need to be paid for their work.
