World's Greatest Newspaper

I've subscribe to the Guardian Weekly for about a year now. It's an amazing piece of work: balanced, yet editorially opinionated; serious at times, yet very funny. The Guardian - and its accompanying Guardian Weekly published for its international readers - is the best thing written in the English language. As far as newspapers are concerned, the Guardian is in a league by itself. Those of us from the States have access to some high quality papers such as the NYT, WP, and WSJ. The Guardian, however, exceeds all these three in terms of range of coverage and quality of writing.

Since the daily Guardian is printed in the UK, I don't have easy access to it. Therefore, I read some Guardian articles online. To really get a feel for the paper, international readers can subscribe to the Guardian Weekly. The publishers compile numerous articles from the week and print them in the Weekly. Printed in Britain, Canada, and Australia, the tabloid-sized paper arrives quickly and freshly relevant. Its relevance is bolstered by the fact that so many of the issues and angles covered in the articles aren't often found in the domestic media. US news and international affairs are covered very well.

I learn more about my own country from the Guardian Weekly than I do from CNN, USA Today, and Fox News combined. You'll be glad that you subscribed.

Good to understand the world, if you can stand their bias

The Guardian is one of the best newspapers in the world. Beautifully designed, great pictures and amazing content. It is one of the most internationally-thought newspapers around, and it gives you a different perspective, other than The New York Times' or the Washington Post's. But, and this is a big BUT, you have to understand that everything is being written with a bias towards the left. I've come to understood that when they started to show their love for Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez. Anyway, it is an important read for understanding world affairs.
