The Economist has very high quality content and has the additional benefit of being a weekly newspaper. Be very aware of the lie that something important happens every day, as perpetuated by the "always-on" news industry, and the related trend to breathlessly consume news blow-by-blow as it happens. Unless you're in a position to make tactical decisions on the basis of this information, it's basically empty calories, only giving off the feeling of being well informed. I've caught myself seeing the flurry of "breaking news" on Facebook, occasionally reading one or two of the articles, closing the tab and looking forward to reading the post-dust-settles big picture coverage in the next Economist.
