My personal morning briefing
I was thinking this morning about what sources I rely on for my news and which ones I read religiously. My Google Reader feed is my pride and joy. Categorized, filtered and always trimmed to cut the sources that are lacking, it is my go-to for a look at the world. But, sometimes I’m just too busy to get through the hundreds of new items every day. There is one source that always gets to the top, though.
The FP Morning Brief, from the writers at Foreign Policy, is that perfect dose of international news in the morning that reminds you there’s a world beyond the U.S. and Michael Jackson. Well-formatted emails, properly linked and expertly summarized at 9am, the FP Morning Brief is my favorite daily aggregate of news. While most get ignored or pushed to the side for more urgent emails, I always pause for my FP fix.
It’s like having my own intern that compiles the best news from around the world every day and sending it to me in a perfect little email. Maybe one day they’ll let me add my own header to the email like “Ben’s super important morning briefing from his own private news readers”. Some day…maybe. Until then, I let the staff at foreignpolicy.com and their blog, FP Passport, do it for me. They’re so kind.
