The best book on American History is Howard Zinn's "A Peoples History", if you can read it without being depressed. He too is close by. Democracy Now is available on the internet, for important news. A book about one of the most important decisions in the 20th century is "The Decision to drop the Atomic Bomb" by Gar Alperovitz. you have one of the best sources of information close by.

I too went through -- and continue to go through -- the same search for intelligent news sources. NPR, The Economist, and The New Yorker are on my list, though I haven't read the FT in a while. I would add to this list "The Atlantic," which I think does an excellent job in the monthly more-in-depth-analysis department. And if you haven't looked at the New York Times in a while, you may be pleasantly surprised. The opinion pages, though not without fault, are much better than 10 years ago. They have added a "public editor," properly attribute by-lines and stringer reporting now, and have added many interesting blogs to their web site. Informative post — thank you.

To the list of disappointing news media, you can add the Spanish newspapers -never too good, now frankly going down in quality. Then I discovered that subscribing to The Economist or The New Yorker is much cheaper that to our local magazines, and a Golden Age began for me... Great post.
