Which other paid news publications do you prefer over the NYT?
- belval 6y agoI really like the Economist their espresso format is a pleasant read in the morning.
- jessriedel 6y agoI would vote The Financial Times or The Economist.
- amf12 6y ago+1 to FT. I have been reading FT for a while now and have completely stopped reading NYT or other publications. They seem to have solid reporting and are pretty unbiased IMO.
- noir-york 6y agoConsider this another vote for the Financial Times and the Economist. I am subscribed to both, and Foreign Affairs.
- oblio 6y agoYou have to be aware of their biases, though. If I recall correctly both predict the collapse of France, like clockwork, every few years (especially because French policies are slightly more socialist and both publications are super business). And of course, both look down on non-Anglosphere countries, in general :-)
- noir-york 6y ago> both look down on non-Anglosphere countries I don't know where you get that from. Any examples? > You have to be aware of their biases, though. A point of view is not a bias. The Economist was founded as a pro-market liberal (classically liberal) publication. A Marxist would consider that a bias I guess?
- bof_ 6y agohttps://spectator.co.uk https://spectator.co.uk is decent
- string 6y agoThe Spectator is usually classified as centre-right. Amongst my peers ("creative" millennials in London) that makes it a bit of a non-starter, unfortunately. I think it's a mostly respectable magazine with a high degree of journalistic integrity (e.g. the recent High Court case). They have some fantastic contributors. Like any publication there are some that are a bit "out there" for my tastes, Delingpole comes to mind, but they pale in comparison to some of the opinion pieces the Guardian publishes. But because of its mild association with the word "right", I know many of my peers would be unpalatable.
- thinkingemote 6y agoHow about The New Statesman? Would that be centre-left?
- string 6y agoCertainly left-leaning. I've heard Stephen Bush (their political correspondent) is quite reliable on Labour issues, but I don't read it much these days. It went right down in my estimation in terms of journalistic integrity after the Roger Scruton debacle.
- matthewmacleod 6y agoThe idea that someone would suggest the Spectator—more reactionary troll factory than magazine at this point—as a response to someone who feels the NYT is pushing too much of an agenda is absolutely hilarious.
- Veen 6y agoHave you read it recently? There certainly are trollish (but not insane) rightwingers like Rod Liddle and Toby Young, and Taki must be published solely to wind up left-wingers. But the main editorial slant is basically Cameron-conservative/New Labour types like Nick Cohen, Katy Balls, Isabel Hardman, Matthew Paris etc. It's definitely right-of-center and doesn't mind cocking a snook at left-wing holy cows, but it's not a "reactionary troll factory".
- chmod600 6y agoRight now I am subscribed to zero paid news outlets. Sad. Watching this thread for suggestions. I'm thinking international, as foreign outlets will be less susceptible to American fashions.
