The view from over there.

I took out a subscription this last year to The Economist. I’ve had previous subscriptions to Time, or Newsweek, or U.S. News and World Report at various times, but always ultimately ended up letting them lapse because they didn’t really offer anything new. They had more in-depth coverage, occasionally, on the “big story of the day”, but no single magazine trumps the torrent of online coverage available these days. There weren’t any great columnists that stick out in my memory. And worst of all, there was the overwhelming America-centric nature of the coverage. I wanted to get out of that.
