1. The Associated Press (AP)
The Associated Press is a nonprofit news cooperative that publishes a wide array of trending news and investigative reports. It maintains no shareholders, no corporate sponsors and doesn’t rely upon or take government funding, operating overwhelmingly from its syndicated content re-published by other newspapers. In fact, savvy newsreaders might note that AP often shows up in the bylines of other papers and articles, as the AP frequently is the first to break news stories. The AP is rated as a centrist or politically centered medium. It enforces rigid journalistic standards for its staff writers to adhere to, including editorial guidelines on how to avoid left or right-leaning connotations within content. 2. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ)
The Wall Street Journal is the only major newspaper brand that Americans trust more than they distrust across political identifications, according to research from Pew. In that vein, the Wall Street Journal maintains one of the most diverse demographics of readers of any U.S.-based newspaper, stretching across socio-economic and political categories. Even with its controversial Murdoch-family News Corporation ownership, WSJ’s news sections reflect authoritative, factual and high-quality coverage, particularly on economic and financial issues.
