One of my pals pinged me today and said

“Trying to compile a list of the most highly regarded US newspapers and an indication of their politics. Any headers on the best national – very few I know – and the strongest regional ones?”

I only know a few papers in the US and so it strikes me its a far better bet to ask you all. It might be interesting reading anyway to see what folks think? I would very much appreciate any help.

I am sure it would be a useful resource more broadly, for folks interested in news, PR and so on. If i get some useful stuff maybe i can post it on wikipedia or whatever? although i can imagine some fun as people back and forth on calling papers pieces of excrement, either right or left leaning…

Maybe there is already such a list. If so please send me a pointer.

I tend to think of US papers as more city than region oriented. so insights there also appreciated.

Please comment- its really easy. If you are a reader you must know your local papers. So please, just take a minute to jot a couple of notes down. I would really appreciate it. and so will the original enquirer.
