This is an alphabetical list of some of the most widely read English language news outlets in the United States.

NOTE: This list is by no means compiled scientifically, and appearance on this list does not imply endorsement of the information from these news outlets. Think critically about any of these sources of information. They are not hyperlinked intentionally because I believe it would imply endorsement. Just Google them.
