Since playing with RSS feeds in class last week, I've been trying to select a favorite from among several good options: NPR, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. I've come to the decision not to pick one, but follow all three, finding components of each to be useful.
NPR is a great generalist feed, supplying political, economic, and general interest news from around the globe. For example, the streem I've recieved just now includes religion, sports, and a report on the jobs outlook. I find The Washington Post to be particularly useful for US-centered information, e.g. international stories tend to be reported from the point of view of effect to the US. The Wall Street Journal is, by nature, extremly useful as a source of business and investing news, and I can't think of a feed I'd rather use in this regard. I also find that the 'Journal' and the 'Post' tend to offer a fair amount of political opposition to each other, which, as sort of a centrist, I find entertaining.
