I want to get an online newspaper subscription to keep up with U.S. politics and national news. What are some good options? Which paper is considered the best? I've heard newspapers are in rough shape financially, will any national newspapers be going out of business?
Well, the most prestigious newspaper in the United States is the New York Times, which has reporters in numerous offices nationally. It's an excellent source of national news and politics and is considered the best newspaper in the nation by many people and has won more Pulitzer Prizes -- the most prestigious award. The Washington Post is also an excellent choice. While it does not have the stature of the New York Times, it also covers national news and, located in Washington, D.C., is especially good at reporting on politics. Other options include the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times. Newspapers are facing financial headwinds, and many smaller newspapers have closed in the last decade. But national newspapers are in better financial shape, especially the New York Times. The Los Angeles Times has faced more money trouble but still has a robust staff even with cuts in recent years.
