Seeing as I, and I expect Mr Moorfield, will soon be asked to pay for the use of The Times website, and seeing as said Times has become a bogroll of tabloid dross unworthy of my somewhat easily earned cash, I shall be seeking a new source of English language news. In Holland I get the NRC Handelsblad in the evenings, which is a very good newspaper.
I'm looking for a paper that serves the following demographic;
- educated professionals, international outlook
- moderate right wing conservativish libertarianish
- literate, able to find pictures of tits somewhere else (no Sun)
- uninterested in celebrity gossip (no tabloids)
- don't need political messages stuffed down my throat (so no grauniad or torygraph)
Feel free to make flippant suggestions but I'd appreciate it if you also make a sensible suggestion. It doesn't necessarily need to be a British paper, but English language.
Well you obviously know/have considered all the usual suspects.... all I can suggest from here is- The Arab News...
It (roughly) meets your criteria:
- educated professionals, international outlook : Tick
- moderate right wing conservativish libertarianish : Tick-ish - depends what you consider moderate or libetarian
- literate, able to find pictures of tits somewhere else (no Sun) : Yep No tits anywhere
- uninterested in celebrity gossip (no tabloids) : Yep - odd story on celeb... but not recogniseable
- don't need political messages stuffed down my throat (so no grauniad or torygraph) : Tick
Oh Sorry and its got Hagar, Dilbert and a couple of other cartoons!!
