For me Economist is great for a weekly review of world politics and general economy and New York Times has good perspective for daily news (I'm not from US so for me it's the 'international view on news').

Lots of 'casual' content there but I'm not sure if this was what you meant precisely.

Economist is a rare source in that each time they have an article about a topic I know I have fairly good grap of, they generally offer a fairly _correct_(!) popular summary of the issues. This is why I have a fairly high trust of those articles where the subject matter is less familiar.




I also read The Economist to get news from around the globe.

Some Overdrive libraries subscribe to the magazine, so you may be able to read it via Overdrive if your local library has it.


Just checked my overdrive library and they has it. Thanks for the tip


+great writing! I wish I could spend a few months writing for them, just as a learning experience.


They publish a English usage style guide which you might like.

+1. Also WSJ is good. The Guardian website, not the paper.
