As you may already know, newspapers can be problematic. Their either too biased, misinformed, or they simply lack stories concerning the areas which some niches are specifically interested in. I understand that this is not the spirit of Jefferson's statement, but it does highlight the newspapers as being a source of misinformation.
A year or so ago, I discovered an email service provided by Foreign Policy Magazine that sends me what is called the Morning Brief every weekday. The Morning Brief is posted under the blog Passport which is ran by Foreign Policy's editors. This is a fantastic consistent and quick source of international news and one of my favorite features of this website. This email is typically composed of an analysis of the one of the biggest foreign policy stories from the day before followed by the three biggest headlines from the five major region of the world.
Above is a screen shot of one of the more recent postings of the Morning Brief. As you can see within each headline is a link to an article giving more detail about each given story.
If you don't already receive a similar news update, I would highly recommend subscribing to this. I find that this email has really helped develop my awareness about what is going on in the world, especially in regions that I am not normally interested in. On days when I am short on time, this allows me to at least skim over the headlines, even if I can't dive into an article.
That's how I stay up-to-date with world news. How do you do it?
