We have six paid news subscriptions, all digital. Today I decided to check the ownership of each news outlet to understand which could be most susceptible to political interference. None is owned by a conglomerate or individual with strong ties to a political party.
| Medium | Subscription | Ownership |
| Broadcast | PBS, Twin Cities Public Television | Nonprofit 501(c)3 |
| Broadcast | NPR, Minnesota Public Radio | Nonprofit 501(c)3 |
| Digital Newspaper | The New York Times | Publicly traded, controlled by same family, via a trust, since 1896. |
| Digital Newspaper | The Guardian | Nonprofit trust |
