forget the new york times…they have screwed up in the past (self admitted even!) and lets face it - by the time the story has been written down, edited, sent to factory, printed, and delivered it is either obsolete or already everywhere else

browse: BBC News, Al Jazeera, Wall Street Journal daily (the websites, WSJ paper is one that is worthwile unlike the NYT)

you can exchange BBC News with CNN or the like…and perhaps add Fox News or Sky News. If you do this you should be informed enough (I generally do)

reading one paper edition paper and nothing else is quite the poor path to head down IMO

P.S. Some people have a problem with al jazeera…and that’s too darn bad - it is a good resource and often times is quicker to post certain events then some other outlets, not to mention it adds a different perspective

now make sure you go here: Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera; and not to the more notorious al jazeera magazine

if you want to be REALLY complete you could add Xinhua or Itar Tass - I will browse these if I have tons of free time and bored
