At this point I follow individual journalists/analysts more than I do actual media channels (Mark Galeotti and Bonnie Glaser immediately come to mind), although a few are just worth it: The BBC, the Atlantic, New York Times, the Economist, Strafor. Also as an American, and veteran, I still follow a few sources in that realm because it's news the mainstream just glances over: USNI News, CHINFO clips, Defensenews's Early Bird Brief are either daily must reads, or at least read a few times a week. 

Likewise, non-fiction books are something I'm constantly into when I want a deeper dive. (Right now that's [i]Black Flags[/i] by Joby Warrick.)
