Frequency and quality are negatively correlated when it comes to news.
I would recommend Instapaper's curated list of articles, which tend to be long-form and more interesting than most, as well as The Browser ("Writing Worth Reading") for curated quality content. http://www.thebrowser.com http://www.thebrowser.com
But you're not going to find quality content many times a day, no matter where you look.
- Rickasaurus 15y agoThanks for a link to thebrowser.com. This is fantastic.
- cageface 15y agoAlso try the New York Review of Books blog: http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/ http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/
- peterwwillis 15y agoI'm sure you're right. There's just not enough people writing to explain random complex subjects to people that don't study that field. And i'm correlating the concept of "news" with interesting information, when news reporting is basically repeating that which happens every single day. Thank you for the link, that may be just what I was looking for.

- peterwwillis 15y ago...... you know the commenter i was replying to linked to that exact website, right?
- gbhn 15y agoIt almost makes you think creating a successful blog would be easy -- after all, there's so little worth reading. :-) Creating writing that's thoughtful, attractive, linkable, rewarding, and current is, apparently, a hugely challenging activity that even a billion people only manage to pull off a few times a day.
- billforsternz 15y agoMany thanks for thebrowser.com. Something similar; http://www.aldaily.com http://www.aldaily.com
- bilban 15y agoI remember this site envisioned the idea of realising original content: http://www.kuro5hin.org/ http://www.kuro5hin.org/ Quite how you measure that though... I always liked the idea.
