Hacker News Reader

I have been search for quite a while for a service that I could subscribe (pay) to get a list of high quality, information dense, writing, about current world events.

I haven't yet found anything that I would be satisfied with. I looked at Substack but most journalist there seem to be basically running blogs.

I mean, that's the Economist, literally the publication this article is from.

There's literally no other English-language news publication for a general educated readership that is higher quality, denser, and focused on the whole world rather than any single country.

I read the Economist from time to time, never subscribed, but always seems to be a bit longer, trying to give some sort of opinion even if very politically unbiased then I would want.

I straight up just want to get a list of things that happened and some context information. I can do research on the topic if I find worth the time.

I stopped getting my news from social media, and started subscribing to The Economist and the Financial Times.

Reuters doesn't make you pay, but it's pretty good. I'm not sure how it is for UK news, but for world and US news it seems to be pretty straight.
