Which publication and/or which writers do you think best represent your views and why? I used...

I like The Nation. And Mother Jones. Charlie Pierce of Esquire nails it everytime. He reads like an old school newspaper reporter hanging out in a Boston bar. Jim Hightower writes wonderfully too.

Here in the States, I like Mother Jones magazine. Online, I like Alternet and Daily Kos.

For general publications I like-- The Economist.

As for writers I generally find a couple people I vett in a particular area and follow them. I particularly appreciate voices of people who are not necessarily political professionals. I take seriously what entrepreneurs say. I take what people who have chops in their fields say. I take seriously international perspectives. I take writers and other creative people seriously. I take minority voices seriously-- not as in race, but people working on the fringe. I take faith community voices seriously, especially off the mainstream. I take historians and jurists seriously.

It's hard to find someone who shares my politics that doesn't just engage in navel-gazing theory or ranty polemics. Instead I'm largely interested in long-form investigative journalism. So there's a bunch of Canadian journalists I like I won't bore people with. I enjoy the Atlantic and used to be a big fan of Salon and Mother Jones also their quality fell badly a few years back - they may have picked back up. I occasionally go back to MoJo and still see a bunch of click-bait headlines which I can't fucking stand.

In America, I feel Stephen King accurately reflects my views, at least about America :)

Like with ACA reform I look to "industry" voices. People actually doing medicine. IRL or in writing. People across a spectrum of medical practice. Also the voices of people filling in the gaps. Faith based groups. Homeless advocates.

But then with Syria I had mostly looked to Kurdish sources and Syriac Christian sources.

Most of this stuff is off media radar and not the purview of a specific writer...

I'm stuck between being annoyed by the left wing stuff and enraged and nauseated by the right.

I'm an ugly American so I don't know who, besides the BBC is owned by Rupert Murdoch, and as a result, I've got a dozens of newsfeeds on my phone I never get around to reading.

If I had to pick one I trust it would be Reuters, but if I'm in a rush, I read Huffpost and just try not to get too taken away with it.

There is no single publication that best reflects my views. I read a wide variety of news sources on both the right and left, domestic and international, to get a better feeling for what people are thinking.

I don't follow anybody these days.
Back in my dim and distant 'up the workers' past, i was a Guardian fan. Especially during the Thatcher years.
The journalists seemed to have a more analytical view than many currently being expressed.

I know a little of Richard Seymour's work. I remember reading Against austerity and thinking....well, there's a view !
The case against austerity was well put, but solutions to were lacking somewhat.

For political reporting....can't stomach any one person/channel for too long. Which i guess tells you where we are at the moment.

come back Sir Robin Day....all is forgiven !

DailyKos and Mother Jones, generally.

I don't get involved with politics and i avoid reading news. It corrupts your brain. Once you're out of that whole cycle and can see it fully, you see how ridiculous all of it is.
