It's not only _from_ Google or Facebook but ultimately _via_ Google or Facebook that I'm realizing won't work for me. (Not that I'm getting a blessed thing via FB in any case.)

Ah, thank you, I hadn't thought about NPR! Durrr.

Would you recommend subscribing to NYT, WSJ, WaPo, Guardian? (I think I'm going to go ahead and buy a subscription to The Guardian anyhow.)

I too have heard good things about Teen Vogue. That does seem odd, but I'd be all kinds of foolish to judge it based solely on my preconceived idea of what something called Teen Vogue "should" be. :) :)
