| I get the FT and online alerts for the NY Times. What other online sources might I subscribe to in order to get a more global outlook on things? |

I found the Playboy to be very helpful (or Playgirl, if that's what you're into). Keeps you on track the whole day.
PS. the Economist, seriously |
It's buy futures, sell futures, when there is no future! |

| Thanks - I get the economist also, but still seems a only "developed world." I'm thinking I'm missing the viewpoint from China, the Middle East, Russia, even Africa. |

And you left out Latam completely.
I usually just search for "english news (country)" and try to find a good RSS feed. |

The main content of the front page is English translations of op/ed pieces written about the U.S., but if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you'll see the Holy Grail of foreign major newspaper links. |

| Regarding the "China, the Middle East, Russia, even Africa" part -- you may also consider Foreign Policy Magazine and/or STRATFOR. |

Latam - oops. Ah i didn't mean that seriously, everyone leaves off Latam  |

I've noticed that. Unsure why.
Africa's a basket case, collectively and (for the most part) at the individual country level. Russia is dying. China is setting itself up for a massive cleanout of malinvestment. I'm thinking that there has got to be more long-term potential in Latam than in some other regions ... |

I tend to agree, assuming they don't start defaulting in the next few years.
Lot's of potential for growth in the core Latam countries ARG, BRL, MEX, COP.
Little concerned about importing inflation though. |

It is a difficult thing to do these days honestly to have an unbiased view on world affairs. In my opinion reading major US, UK, French, German media all say roughly the same thing and all agree on world policy. There is no sharp critics of their governments.
Interestingly Haaretz is more critical than any other media (save for Press TV) regarding its governement.
I use in fact Google News and select a few newsources. I add to that RIA Novosti, RT, Caixin, etc.
I'd be interested to know about South of America's based papers.

> I'd be interested to know about South of America's based papers.
http://watchingamerica.com/News/ and scroll to the bottom of the page, right-hand column. Seven Brazilian sources, six Colombian sources, three from Paraguay even! South American newspapers from a dozen different South American countries!
No shit, I think there are almost 500 different online newspapers linked there. I am really surprised that mentioning them didn't close the thread ... |

"I am really surprised that mentioning them didn't close the thread ..."
In fairness, there are some important titles missing from that list (Il Sole 24 Ore immediately springs to mind).
I think this imaginatively titled website is probably more comprehensive.

THAT should close the thread ... |

Maybe...
It depends on what the thread author actually needs.
I find newspapers very lacking in either a true macro or market depth approach.
The only consistent exception is the FT. Even the WSJ and NYT are too patchy or heavily domestic/micromarket oriented, though I do follow them just in case.
Newspapers are mainly useful for the region's political perspective on news or any notable local issues which fall through the cracks globally. Of course, they tend to be good for event risk too, e.g. disasters, accidents, elections/referendums etc.
Otherwise, I mostly use capital market blogs, specific market blogs (financial and physical), economist and institutional blogs, a couple of general magazines (The Economist, Risk) and some market magazines. I'm excluding academic journals here deliberately since they are not general and require subs.
With organised Twitter and RSS feeds into your favorite online reader with apps for platform support (e.g. Google Reader), you should always be in touch with important news anywhere.
Another good general news site not mentioned is World News Network (which even offers customizable RSS feeds). Also, Bloomberg Businessweek can occassionally have fantastic articles that easily rival or significantly better than the FT.
Thanks for the tip about newsmap.jp - that's superb on the iPad! |

I take back my praise for online newspapers [dot] com.
None of the links are direct links, they all redirect through webwombat.
Further, although it appears they have a large number of links, a very significant percentage of them are dead or 404. Varies by country, South Africa is not as bad as Ecuador, for example, but it's pretty discouraging. |

that's down right pornographic.
I'd love to see infrequent keywords propagating on a map like that. Cool link, thanks. |
