We may start slowly and go back to the Sunday Times (although I’m freely willing to admit that a Sunday paper without the comics still seems wrong to me). I will add that I supplement with curated online sources like Next Draft and the Morning News. But what I really came here to say is that I encourage you to add a science publication (print or online) to your new media diet. The NYT has been taken to task for crummy science coverage numerous times in the past few years. You don’t have to go full on National Geographic but there are some great resources out there from the light and easily digestible to serious long form stories. Here’s a great resource for online sources (with some great comics thrown in too – if you don’t already read XKCD drop everything and start!) http://www.itsokaytobesmart.com/links
