I do. I don't know Bloomberg or The Economist that well, but translating the media brands to Dutch ones, I'd definitely care more what Tweakers.net says about something than NOS - tech news versus general news. I know there are a few people at Tweakers who truly understand technology (like, they can probably write code) whereas at NOS you'd be happy if they explain the word "ransomware" correctly.

The Economist is usually surprisingly well-informed about things like these. It's pretty much the only mainstream newspaper where I can read articles about my field without cringing.

This. I'm not really sure if I need other news media in global affairs. If it's important Economist will cover it sooner or later, and if it's not, no one will remember it one month after the fact.

Fun fact: one of the tech journalists at the NOS (Joost Schellevis) worked for tweakers.net

Good point, now that you mention it I remember that. Trouble is also that the NOS has to dumb it down and ignore details though.
