Not a subscription, but in the competition for my time, I like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events -- it fills a similar role for me as the Economist did in another era (I used to read the paper version religiously) -- globalish coverage of important events, some pleasurable idiosyncracies, bias toward Western culture and politics due to language and authors. LWN.net is the only news subscription I can recommend without reservation, but of course it's not general news. :)
