I find The Economist's online edition to be technically good, and of course the content from that "newspaper" is great as well.

If you went no farther than The Economist's software, with $1mm/yr of writing focusing (as Gruber suggests) on opinion, news, and analysis, I'd be willing to pay $20-30/yr.

I would prefer something like Foreign Affairs, although slightly more timely (weekly or biweekly, vs bimonthly).
