I quit the regular news a year or two ago. Why the hell would I start my day with tragedies and hyped stories? I'm glad I found De Correspondent, a Dutch high-quality online journalism platform that aims to be devoid of all that I despise about modern news.
- Rob wrote a manifesto, in which he promised that ‘De Correspondent will publish fresh stories on a daily basis, but it aims to uncover, explain and highlight deep-lying structures and long-term developments that powerfully shape our world, rather than reporting on the latest hype, scare, or breaking news story.’
The stuff that's really important news I'll hear about through people talking about it.

It's Dutch only, so far they've only translated one article which was posted here a while ago.

This is a wonderful article, thank you for posting it. I envy your access to such a wonderful news source.
Perhaps Le Monde Diplomatique might be a source for English speakers. It has similarly thoughtful analysis.
