The only printed newspaper I pay for and read regularly is the WOZ, a weekly left newspaper. In its issue #43, Oct. 27, 2011, it listed some American alternative media and talked about the need to finance them as a form of intellectual self-defense. Here are the organizations mentioned with links to their pages on Wikipedia.
1. Alternative press (started 1969)
2. The Nation (started 1865 by slavery opponents)
3. The Progressive (started 1909 by a senator, very pacifist)
4. Mother Jones (started 1976 via Foundation for National Progress)
5. Politico
6. Common Dreams NewsCenter
7. The Huffington Post
8. Salon.com
9. Z Communications
10. AlterNet (started 1998)
11. ProPublica
12. National Security Archive (declassified documents of US foreign policy)
13. Southern Poverty Law Center (started 1971, rassism, civil rights, immigration)
Regarding financing and donations: The WOZ uses a model whereby you can donate by voluntarily paying twice as much. That’s what I do.
