I’ve been subscribed to the Economist for a few years now. However I started to dislike their western bias and extensive war coverage. Moreover I am mostly interested in the Business and Finance sections, however political topics take up the majority of the space. Does anyone have some suggestions for a high quality magazine with a focus on economics, business and finance?

#9Hard to beat FT and The Economist, gets to the point quickly.
I do not like the weekend section in FT about "how to spend it"
The WSJ is too heavy, takes too much time to read and overwhelming. Barrons is not the publication it used to be.
Bloomberg Business Week looks interesting, but where I spend my money & time is limited and think my subscriptions to FT and The Economist are better spent.
I'm not sure I would avoid the war coverage and potential conflicts down the road.

#10This is so true and really sad. Their bias was really appalling, downright revolting during the recent Elections in Turkey.
As a life rule now, I look for and only read independent work, and I suggest you do the same. This is the only way now.
Newsletters and reader-supported Journalists/Authors. Personal blogs of some economists and business reporters. Podcasts.
You'd be surprised but there are some really good Finance/business info on Twitter (X), basically people in the frontlines of the industry giving you pure, fluff-free information, the "FinTwit" community is pretty active.
Hope this helps!
