Generally, IMO, the most reliable sources for news are those publications/organizations that that take great care in gathering and preparing and checking their reports. For instance, all the Time publications use "adversarial" fact-checking process (facts are checked by researcher who operates independent of the in house writer and field reporters). In my opinion, the "news"(this does not include editorialists or editorialists) organizations that are the most reliable are: 1. The New York Times group 2. The Washington Post/LA Times/Newsday/Newsweek group 3. The Wall Street Journal/ Dow Jones Because they are well balanced, I like the following publications in particular: 1. The Economist 2. Time...although since the Time Inc. merger with AOL, it has become increasingly lightweight. 3. The New Yorker I was the happiest when daily I read: 1. The NY Times, WSJ on the train ride in; the LA Times and Washington Post at the office; plus the NY Post on the train home at night. 2. Direct, raw dispatches throughout the from Time correspondents around the world. and weekly: 1. The New Yorker 2. Sports Illustrated and ALL the Time, Inc. publications ( I am loyal) 3. The National Review 4. The Nation and/or New Republic and monthly: 1. Fortune for sure. 2. Different monthly magazines, as they contained interesting stories or good writing. And, always the New York Times Sunday Crossword, to defog my mind. These days I don't have time to read -- that is, I'm no longer paid to read -- so, as a general rule my daily reading is limited to The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Boston Globe. And, the Crossword on Sunday.
