Definitely agree with you about how different the news coverage is. While I won't pretend to understand a lot of what's in there (I'm not an economist) I feel like when I read it, my mind was being stretched somewhat. I'm really clueless when it comes to British politics, so a lot of their coverage of Blair, parliament and how it works was pretty interesting to me.

I also found (sadly) that I had a hard time following some of the stories from parts of the world I don't normally read about. I think you can get cheaper subscription rates by posing as a student. I guess technically you work for an educational institution, so maybe you'd be eligible. I used to subscribe too but found I couldn’t keep up with the weekly issues :-)
