I’m a news junkie too. I keep myself informed with 4 newspapers I subscribe to.
That doesn’t cost that much when it’s online.
the Nytimes has a discounted subscription the first year but after that I don’t know. I don’t think so.
I was when I was younger. Particularly for a long while after 9/11/2001. I had a brief resurgence after the war in Ukraine started. I still subscribe to a streaming service that has 3 news channels, but I haven’t actually used in like 6 weeks. Probably wasting my money.
I sometimes catch a bit when parents are watching the NBC nightly news on their TV.
My father! he has 3 subscriptions and I feed his withdrawal symptoms sending him google news every morning. My google news have become specially tailored for him, since I don´t care about the news!
