Since I'm raving about journalism I appreciate: 404 Media, "a journalist-founded digital media company exploring the ways technology is shaping–and is shaped by–our world," just celebrated its second anniversary! Barely a day goes by when I don't read some of their reporting.

https://www.404media.co/two-years-404-media-anniversary/

As the four founders write:

We’ve been trying our absolute best to bring you stories you can’t find anywhere else about the wildest shit happening right now.

It has been a relief that this business strategy of “publish good articles and ask people to pay for journalism” still works, despite the fracturing of social media, the slopification of every major platform, AI being shoved into everything, and the rich and powerful trying to destroy journalism at every turn.
