Somewhat surprised that there is no mention of The Correspondent yet. The Dutch version has been quite successful for quite a few years now, and they're launching an international version later this year[0][1].
(Having said that, the authors of De Correspondent sometimes come across as oblivious to how their world views are shaped by living in the cultural bubble that is the Randstad[2]. There is a certain arrogance to the writing style that just makes it feel like the kind of thing that people living in Amsterdam would write, and it sometimes rubs me the wrong way. I guess that makes it the Dutch equivalent to the New Yorker.)

- bjelkeman-again 8y agoI am looking forward to their English language release. I supported the crowdfunded effort. My wife raves about the Dutch version. I hope the English one can live up to the expectations. Otherwise I tend to read the Economist, mostly on paper, to get a broad international analysis.
- sejtnjir 8y agoI subscribed to the Correspondent based on the proposition of in depth quality journalism until it decayed into long form leftist outcry and nothing else. I wonder if this type of decay is inevitable.
