The US has biased left and right news outlets so finding accurate balanced reporting is difficult. The economist with its world perspective, not aligned with a country’s political parties, is refreshing. For us Rotarians who seek truth and fairness the Economist is an ideal news source.

Intelligently written pieces that have an opinion but not a political bent. The app itself got a lot better this year and can now hold your place in an article if you shift apps. Interesting, diverse coverage that goes just deep enough to be thoughtful but isn’t a slog to read Great news source Intelligently written pieces that have an opinion but not a political bent.

The Economist’s coverage of the world, breadth of issues it addresses, depth of analysis, willingness to both support and critique any politician or party, and even it’s willingness to admit when they are wrong makes it my go to for articles and podcasts.
