   @alan
   Editors and executives do seem to be the heart of the problem here; there’s no shortage of amazing journalists in this world, but few places where they have both latitude and support to do their best work.

     @inthehands @alan I’ve been trying to make a budget for supporting real journalism and a list of organizations to support; so far I have 404 Media, the Texas Observer, and Zeteo (tho it looks like the only way to support Zeteo is through Substack), but nothing with much focus on government and elections. What other organizations should I be considering?

     @ShadSterling @alan
     ProPublica is the obvious omission from your list.

     Right now, The Guardian is the daily source for general national / international news I’m happiest that I’m paying for.

     Here in my neck of the woods, The Minnesota Reformer and Sahan Journal have both done some really important work.

     For climate reporting, take a look at Inside Climate News.

     @inthehands @alan I’ve supported The Guardian in the past, don’t remember stopping for any particular reason, but now I’m wary of starting again: https://spore.social/@ayoub/113074483640487123

     @ShadSterling @alan
     The Guardian US emphatically does not do this; I read them as an antidote to the fascist-coddling I see from other national papers.

     I’ve heard from several people that The Guardian’s UK branch is a whole different beast.
