In the UK I subscribe to "The Week", which covers stories by reporting what different newspapers report.

You don't get much in depth, but you do get a good cross-section of how stories are reported, and you get to remove headlines which is the source of 96% of the world's troubles.

Wow, that sounds wonderful. I hardly read Australian news, but I would subscribe to something like that for Australian News!

Austrailian version shut down in 2012, when it was attracting 28k issues a week.

UK version does fairly well, 3rd after Private Eye and Economist. They do a junior version for I guess 8-13 year olds too which is doing well too, so that's good.

Friend of mine runs a magazine aimed at people who like horses (typically well-to-do female over 35s) with c. 25,000 copies a week pre-covid. It was about 70:30 subscription. Subscription is up a little since covid, but newsstand sales are way down.
