Helen, very good to see you.

Public sources.

Well, it's getting harder, first of all.

I think we all feel that.

I mean, I used to trust what I would read in the newspapers a lot more than I do today.

So much of that is framing.

It's not that the journalism is wrong, but the stories that are being picked and the way that they are being reported and the angles on them are much more politicized than they used to be.

I would say 10 years ago, I felt that the op-ed pages of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal had clear slants, but that the coverage in the general news did not.

I think that's changing.

I probably still see the Financial Times as, in terms of their news coverage, both politically and economically around the world, as quite good.

and objective.

It is it's not the most serviceable website and it's pretty dry and it's pretty technically detailed.

But frankly, I think in part because they don't care necessarily about having the broadest distribution and subscriber set, it's more doing what they do well for the people that need them.

They've probably been most true to that over the last ten years, 20 years.

I think that there are plenty of places that you can turn to for good global coverage outside the US.

So one thing I try to do all the time when I'm adjusting my own media diet is spending some time with NHK in Japan, in English, and Deutsche Welle from Germany.

And I mean, the CBC in Canada and the BBC in the UK and Al Jazeera in the Middle East.

And all of them have their specific biases, but their worldviews are generally pretty good.

And of course, they're interested in a lot of the same stories in terms of global coverage.

that American media is.
