As a Canadian, it would be nice to see more Canadian sites among the STN listing. Admittedly, it is nice to see CBC.ca, The Globe & Mail and The (Toronto) Star included in the listing, but more Canadian sites would be preferable.
Apart from Canadian sites, though, how about major news sites from around the world? There are presently only 17 news sites for Asia, despite a large population on such a continent.
I have noticed that some websites, which are related to some of the newspapers with the highest circulations in the world, have not been included. As someone who has spent three years in Japan, I was kind of bummed to note that the websites affiliated with some major Japanese papers -- papers that have some of the largest circulation numbers in the world -- are not in the STN listing.
Some of the biggest publications listed in the Wikipedia page include:
However, I did a quick search, and found that the reason why the website seemed to get so little engagement is that if there is no '.co.jp' but rather just 'jp', the site gets much more attention.
As per top TV-based networks in Canada, apart from CBC, which is already listed in STN, there's CTV and Global. All have local affiliates throughout much of Canada. Each has their respective news team and corresponding news website.
First off, CBC, which is already included under cbc.ca:

I came across a listing of some of the biggest newspapers by circulation in the world via Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_newspapers_by_circulation

Some of the biggest publications listed in the Wikipedia page include:

However, I did a quick search, and found that the reason why the website seemed to get so little engagement is that if there is no '.co.jp' but rather just 'jp', the site gets much more attention.

Apart from the papers above, though, I think that Japan's public broadcaster, NHK, deserves to be noted:
NHK https://www.nhk.or.jp/ This site ranks: #696 in global internet engagement (https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/nhk.or.jp)
And while not listed among the top newspapers in Japan, one other possible inclusion is:
Japan Times https://www.japantimes.co.jp This site ranks: #5,280 in global internet engagement (https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/japantimes.co.jp)

Global News globalnews.ca This site ranks: #3,143 in global internet engagement (https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/globalnews.ca)
Would it be possible to add some of these news sites to the STN listing?
