From their about page:
ProPublica is an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force. We dig deep into important issues, shining a light on abuses of power and betrayals of public trust — and we stick with those issues as long as it takes to hold power to account.
With a team of more than 150 dedicated journalists, ProPublica covers a range of topics including government and politics, business, criminal justice, the environment, education, health care, immigration, and technology. We focus on stories with the potential to spur real-world impact. Among other positive changes, our reporting has contributed to the passage of new laws; reversals of harmful policies and practices; and accountability for leaders at local, state and national levels.
Investigative journalism requires a great deal of time and resources, and many newsrooms can no longer afford to take on this kind of deep-dive reporting. As a nonprofit, ProPublica’s work is powered primarily through donations. The vast bulk of the money we spend goes directly into world-class, award-winning journalism. We are committed to uncovering the truth, no matter how long it takes or how much it costs, and we practice transparent financial reporting so donors know how their dollars are spent.
ProPublica was founded in 2007–2008 with the belief that investigative journalism is critical to our democracy. Our staff remains dedicated to carrying forward the important work of exposing corruption, informing the public about complex issues, and using the power of investigative journalism to spur reform.

which country?
Any as long as it's in English.
These are mostly UK focused:
https://morningstaronline.co.uk/ Largest co-operatively owned newspaper in the UK, has links to the communist party of Britain.
Not everyone's cup of tea. Actually becoming aware of the amount of corruption and injustice in the UK can be accutely depressing.
Their online offering is a tiny fraction of what is covered in the hardcopy.
This is a few months old, but it might help you make a decision on who to partially trust. There is no one to fully trust, no one.

Tangled is a newer one getting traction right now
There are thousands of them. Many would be called “blogs” or “YouTube channels.” I would ask a narrower question.
I specified written. Independent news commentators are everywhere since video format is still a profitable model, but they all rely on written news sources or random social media posts.
Right, so aside from podcasts and YouTube & other video sources. Which brings us back to blogs, essentially, of which there are tens of thousands. Patreon & Substack are two popular platforms for persons and small teams publish on to (try to) make a living. I could list out my Patreon & Substack subscriptions, but as I said there are thousands.
But now that I think about it, you said “news sources.” But virtually none of these are “news” sources so much as “analysis” sources, or in a few cases “investigative reporting” sources. News reporting is very expensive, which is why for instance Reuters & Associated Press (AP) exist and other news outlets republish.

Axios

Poynter
The Intercept
Truthout
Axios and The Intercept don’t fit this description. The Intercept is by billionaire Pierre Omidyar.
Personally, I would exclude Poynter as well: https://lemmy.ml/post/21254456/14262179
MB/FC is worse than random, so rolling dice would be better. MB/FC & Poynter reliably favor imperial core corporate, NGO, and state-affiliated media.
I just checked on Axios and it's owned and ran by the billionaire Cox family.
James Cox Kennedy (born November 29, 1947) is an American media executive and the current chair of Cox Enterprises, the conglomerate founded by his grandfather, James M. Cox. According to the 2017 Forbes billionaires list, he is the 105th-richest person in the world, the 37th-richest person in the United States, and the richest person in the state of Georgia.

Bellingcat
Elon Musk is right: Bellingcat is a Western ‘psy-op’
Who knows why Musk let the Bellingcat out of the bag. He & Trump pretend to be enemies of the deep state when they’re both members of it. Much of Musk’s wealth comes from military-industrial complex.
