Do you read 'old news'/article archives?

Asked because I like the idea of reading about the past and feel unsatisfied by r/history and r/askhistorians mainly because reddit's search isn't that great and those subs have a much wider scope than most news archives.
I'm gonna do this on a Q&A format. Note that "old news" doesn't need to be news articles, it can be blogs for example.
If you read old news/articles, where do you get them from/find them?
What kind of "old news" do you read?
What historical period do you tend to read about?
If you're reading an article about a historical event you remember, how does your memory tend to compare to those articles?
How often do you do it?
What do you think about subreddits like r/twentyyearsago, since they're basically trawling through those news archives?

Glenn Greenwald resigned from from The Intercept_ an online publication he helped start after the Edward Snowden Leaks. In that letter Glenn Greenwald goes into detail for the reason for his resignation.
The final, precipitating cause is that The Intercept’s editors, in violation of my contractual right of editorial freedom, censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I remove all sections critical of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, the candidate vehemently supported by all New-York-based Intercept editors involved in this effort at suppression.
Editor-in-Chief of The Intercept's response with a heavy critique of Glenn Greenwald work as a Journalist.
it is important to make clear that our goal in editing his work was to ensure that it would be accurate and fair. While he accuses us of political bias, it was he who was attempting to recycle the dubious claims of a political campaign — the Trump campaign — and launder them as journalism.
Glenn Greenwald post the unedited article w/ typos and and all that The Intercept refused to publish.
Glenn has also posted the email exchange between himself and other editors at The Intercept.

Tl;dr typical news sources tend to prioritize political and governmental events and the things that surround them, like economics and social issues, even if they cover everything, and by covering everything they probably stretch themselves thinly among what they don't prioritize. (At least that's how it feels.)
A few examples of what I'm thinking of are:
Foreign Affairs, who focus specifically on geopolitics
The Scientific American, which focuses specifically on... science.
Aeon, which seems to focus on "the humanities". (
vaaague.)So... what are your examples of news sources/publications like this that you follow?

I've recently been getting into RSS reading and well, I usually just went with whatever was given in a forum (like Tildes for example). Although, I've recently been looking into news organizations I follow to see if I should actually trust them.
Factors that came to mind to be important was looking at past controversies regarding them to see where they might fail in the future and who owns them. It made me realize that most sources I had actually might not be who I want to follow for news but then well, not many are left and while I do want to cut down on the amount of news I get because it's overwhelming, I also don't want to miss important news.
So how do you pick what sources of news you listen and what are some news you trust and why?
