I have been in international business for over 20 years – setting up new businesses in just about every market there is around the globe.
Almost from the beginning, 20 years ago, I learned that I could not establish a working business, earn my pay or put food on my table if I relied on the news and information as provided by the NYT, Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, etc.
So, I used them as headline services to find out the events of the day, doing the information gathering / interpretation on my own.
Now, they barely provide headline services since they are so selective on which events they choose to cover. It’s difficult to classify them as “news” sources.
