What kind of financial news do you read to inform your judgment on larger issues? I feel I tend to get overwhelmed with short-term and often irrelevant news on finance/global economics/markets with my current curation routine, as I read daily sources that focus on immediate markets news with little in-depth substance (Reuters/WSJ/Bloomberg...)? Do you also read more in-depth analysis, featured in weekly or monthly magazines such as The Econommist or other?

I'm quite ignorant at the topic and just at the beginning.

Right now I started to read The concise guide to economics[1] As the title says it's a really simple and concise book which explain basic terms from economy. I find it quite good for beginners like me.

In the future I plan to add these to my reading list:

Financial Times blog[2]

Paul Krugman's blog[3]

The New York Times

The Economist
