I really like the Economist. It doesn't cover all of the news but does a good job providing analysis of what they do cover.

I like to combine The Economist and Jacobin for politics and economics.

Foreign Affairs + Mother Jones is another combination.

Same with The New Yorker + In These Times.

The Atlantic has a reputation for thoughtful, prescient journalism -- often with a focus on technology, but more often its surprising intersections with the world at large. I think it's frequently regarded as artsy and literary, like a New Yorker with pictures, which is odd considering its most famous essay, "As We May Think" by Vannevar Bush (1942), is widely credited with laying the foundations of the Information Age.

I wonder if Time will make a comeback with Benioff's purchase.
