Can't beat The Guardian for solid international and free coverage of important issues.

Al Jazeera English can be quite good (though be wary of some of it's Qatar biases), it tends to be excellent on Africa and Asia.

Dam thanks for pointing this out, i never realised this! We might look to build it into our open source security app for journos and NGOs.

Thanks! I'll try guardian. Al Jazeera very biased.

The Guardian is also very biased. They're still useful media outlets.
