I agree Fern. The wider the distribution, the better. I don't think the NYT, which I get daily, will influence the Professor's writing, except maybe for formatting. You see click bait in just about every commercial website for media these days. I say just avoid it.

I started reading the NYT at age 7/8 to have something to discuss with dad at dinner.In Egypt in the 50s I received it days late. In the Congo I received the Times/Herald Tribune edition by crocodile. In Chile the mail was delayed. I still read the Times, though with less sense of it being definitive than when I was much younger. I appreciate the Washington Post digital. The Economist daily and weekly provides a fine US section as well as broad global news. The Week provides excellent daily and weekly articles, including disparate newspaper/magazine reporting and some zinger cartoons. The New York Review of Books provides some excellent in-depth articles on key ongoing matters. The Atlantic and the New York have insightful articles, when I find the time.
When I was in the Foreign Service more than occasionally I had to write a classified memo to The Secretary ‘correcting’ a Times or Post article of that morning. Even now I assume that many of the top folks in Washington read the Times and/or Post while limosinng to work. I just read them with my first cup of coffee.
Even before coffee my must read is Heather’s nightly Letter. If limited to a single source, for keen insights on critical domestic issues for me Heather is #1.
