In the meantime, I’ve heard from my well-educated acquaintances who are pondering whether their individual reading habits lead them towards fact or fiction. “Hey man. Got a question for you on this ‘fake news’ thing,” one of my classmates who was in my High School days. “What’s your advice and do you have an opinion on where to find some form of truth in our media today?”
1. The New York Times
It is the leading newspaper within the U.S. in my view. The editorial page as well as some pieces of news reporting adopt the left-leaning, progressive perspective about the global scene. However, it is also a true journalistic institution. NYT adheres to ethical standards for reporting as well as the traditional aspects journalistic practice within America. This is what makes to ensure that the NYT remain, perhaps the most influential news source in America. It’s a top-rated news source in politics, business and coverage of culture. *
2. The Wall Street Journal
The most circulated publication within the U.S., the newspaper WSJ was founded as a business publication and was the first to pioneer new forms that feature-writing that have become standard in American journalism (for instance, its unique middle-column feature , dubbed”Ahed” and its witty middle-column feature called “Ahed” and longer form detailed reports referred to as “leders”). When the company was bought from Australian businessman Rupert Murdoch in 2007, the newspaper moved to focus on more general news and business news. The The WSJ remains a the only brand with X in daily business magazines around the globe. The editorial section is a pillar of American conservatives who believe in free markets, with the slogan “free markets, free people.” With ex- Republican speecheswriters as well as strategists like Karl Rove, Peggy Noonan and Bill McGurn writing columns, the The WSJ editorial pages are usually an absolute must-read especially for Republicans within Washington. Readers who lean left should not ignore the editorial edit page simply because they don’t agree with its views. The paper has won numerous Pulitzer Prizes, including for editorials and columns with an unambiguous thesis that is which is supported by meticulous fact-based reports and powerful arguments. *
3. The Washington Post
It was the newspaper that was instrumental in bringing down the presidency of Richard Nixon with its reporting on the Watergate scandal in the 1970s in the beginning continues to maintain its robust intellectual history under new ownership by Amazon.com its founder Jeff Bezos. It has been a part of the Post is for a long time been one of the top three national papers , an ally of The New York Times and the WSJ in terms of receiving Pulitzer Prizes, hiring the top and most brilliant journalists and publishing big news. Of the three big papers of them, the Post can be perhaps the most innovative in exploring innovative methods of digital that has helped increase the readership. In addition, with Bezos backing it appears that Post is now hiring. Post is currently on a recruitment of a flurry for highly skilled reporters, as both the New York Times and the WSJ have been reducing their staffs of reporters in the past few months. The majority of people think that the Post’s editorial page is more left-leaning however, it it is generally considered to be more center-left in comparison to the New York Times. *
4. BBC
BBC BBC is the leader in excellence in television and broadcast journalism. It would be nice if U.S. cable news outlets could replicate the BBC’s formula. While PBS produces great documentaries, entertainment and news shows however, its news programming has been criticized for lacking the creativity of BBC. Although NPR has some great journalism, the bulk portion of the news content seems to be based on re-reporting of information of The New York Times and the Associated Press. Additionally, the American public believes NPR as more left-leaning than BBC.
5. The Economist
Another British export is the the Economist magazine is filled with outstanding journalists and economists who provide a carefully edited and factually accurate account of the events happening around the world every week. It’s a bit odd there’s a reason that Economist does not publish the author’s bylines, which means you can’t tell the exact writer of a particular article.
6. The New Yorker
This American treasure is a sophisticated source of non-fiction narratives by the best writers and reporters every week in a printed magazine, and increasingly in other formats. It is evident that the New Yorker is adeptly expanding its audience online, providing to all users content that was previously accessible only to print readers. The magazine also publishes one piece of fiction each once a week (identifies it as the case). The long-form nonfiction articles on culture, politics business and other issues usually take months to write, write and verify facts. This results in a deep analysis and reporting each week that is difficult to find in other places. Additionally, the narrative and the techniques used by writers create a great reading experience. Like that of the Times, the New Yorker presents an enlightened outlook on the world. Conservative readers must be aware of this but don’t let it take away from their enjoyment of the most impressive writing and reporting happening around the world. *
7. Wire Services The Associated Press, Reuters, Bloomberg News
You aren’t able to “subscribe” to these wire services. However, you can trust the reports of these organizations to be reliable. They supply the foundation of news and information flow on the economy and politics. Their member organizations that publish their news benefit from this coverage. Follow these organizations on social media . You you can also follow specific reporters from these organizations that cover subjects that are of interest to you. The wire services have websites and mobile applications that you can use to keep up-to-date with current news. *
8. Foreign Affairs
The magazine is published bi-monthly in conjunction with the Council on Foreign Relations. It’s a serious journal for those who seek information about global issues. The magazine as well as its numerous digital platforms benefit by dialogue, submissions amongst the various perspectives and an analysis from the top experts regarding international relations.
9. The Atlantic Atlantic
Another National treasure. It is a magazine that is published monthly which offers a look at the entire world and nation in Washington D.C. It is influenced by prominent journalists who write lengthy stories and provide analysis. It is true that the Atlantic website often focuses on clickable headlines. However, the magazine and the parent company are also a part of the American journalistic the principles of fact-based reporting.

10. Politico
The company was founded by journalists who quit The Washington Post in 2006, Politico has evolved into a major actor in reporting on politics across the U.S. (and with expansions to Europe). The company does produce some of its products in print, however it is readily accessible on the Internet and on mobile devices. Keep an eye out for Axios which is an online news service founded this year by two of the founders from Politico.
* Disclosures: Early in my life, I worked with The Associated Press and the Washington Post. I was staff writer for The Wall Street Journal between 2001-2011. I also wrote freelance writing in the Washington Post and the Times as well ashe New York Times and the New Yorker (website) and also certain of the magazines listed in the list of runners up.
