    Looking for a good newspaper/site

    Seeing as I, and I expect Mr Moorfield, will soon be asked to pay for the use of The Times website, and seeing as said Times has become a bogroll of tabloid dross unworthy of my somewhat easily earned cash, I shall be seeking a new source of English language news. In Holland I get the NRC Handelsblad in the evenings, which is a very good newspaper.

    I'm looking for a paper that serves the following demographic;
    - educated professionals, international outlook
    - moderate right wing conservativish libertarianish
    - literate, able to find pictures of tits somewhere else (no Sun)
    - uninterested in celebrity gossip (no tabloids)
    - don't need political messages stuffed down my throat (so no grauniad or torygraph)

    Feel free to make flippant suggestions but I'd appreciate it if you also make a sensible suggestion. It doesn't necessarily need to be a British paper, but English language.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

    International Herald Tribune?

    Personally I stick to the daily mash and rely on regular CUK posters such as dim prawn and ATW to alert me to anything important.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      Well you obviously know/have considered all the usual suspects.... all I can suggest from here is- The Arab News...
      It (roughly) meets your criteria:
      - educated professionals, international outlook : Tick
      - moderate right wing conservativish libertarianish : Tick-ish - depends what you consider moderate or libetarian
      - literate, able to find pictures of tits somewhere else (no Sun) : Yep No tits anywhere
      - uninterested in celebrity gossip (no tabloids) : Yep - odd story on celeb... but not recogniseable
      - don't need political messages stuffed down my throat (so no grauniad or torygraph) : Tick

      Oh Sorry and its got Hagar, Dilbert and a couple of other cartoons!!

        If photojournalism interests you at all, you'd do worse than to take a look at Boston.Com they have some stunning pictures there.

        Click through some of the pictures of Haiti 70 days on or Chile 9 days on.
