Telepolis: https://www.heise.de/tp/

Also, the list above lacks the FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) as a source for high-quality journalism (politically, I would describe the FAZ as open-minded conservative.)

That's ridiculous. Telepolis is tin-foil, crackpot conspiracy-mongering. It being anywhere close in quality to reputable news sources is laughable. It's so far off the mark, I wouldn't even know where to put it on the traditional left/right scale. The "incoherent"<->"this is satire, right?" scale is its natural habitat.
I like reading Telepolis for just that: willingness to question mainstream consensus. Sometimes they do swerve wildly into crackpot territory. Some authors on there I just don't read because they've written shit in the past.
Telepolis is somewhat interesting to read, but it's full of agendas.
Haha! Telepolis is an extremely left-wing niche online site, with a certain leaning towards conspiracy theories.

It's the first time I've actually seen them included in any list of reputable media.
