I don't really follow general news. If something is important enough for me to need to know about, it'll pop up on HN, my limited Reddit feed, or via friends. Works really well for me and makes sure I don't focus on things that are out of my control.

What I like about the economist is that it covers news from many places you'd otherwise unlikely to hear much about unless you are really interested in it or the job requires to know. What I didn't like at the end that there were too many 'vanilla' articles,where I read them and feel that it could be done more in-depth rather than just scratching the surface. Also felt lack of time to read it as much as I'd like. I may revisit it in the future.
