I'd actually recommend the Economist - the writing is generally pretty good (in my opinion), but more importantly, as a weekly publication rather than daily, it's less knee-jerk about getting out the story quickly, and more focused on actually understanding the news and the implications of it. I learn more from reading the 2 front page summaries (news + business) in the Economist than from all my internet daily news reading.
