The Wanderer is published by one branch of the Matt family. It was originally a newspaper published in German for German speaking Catholics, but after use of German was discouraged in World War I, it started publishing in English. After Vatican II, one of the Matt brothers sided with Vatican II reforms and he continued to publish the Wanderer, which is ultra conservative. The other brother strongly disagreed with Vatican II and started publishing a rival paper called the Remnant. Both papers are still in print and have subscribers.
I’ve done some reading of my own. The Wanderer is popular with trads still in the churc, and the Remnan with trads whole have broken with Rome. My own preference is for National Catholic Reporter.

Wow, how do you know all of this. I and my friend use to sneak into the church on Sunday before mass and leave copies in the pew.
