Summary: The best international news coverage: IHT
Comment: I love the International Herald Tribune. As an American expatriate for 16+ years I can firmly say this is a newspaper made for people like me. The articles come from the New York Times and the Washington Post - the best of American news reporting. On top of this excellent foundation, the IHT builds articles that are internationally focused and go beyond the 6th grade level narrow hype of American news coverage to go in depth on important topics in Europe, Asia, China, India, Africa, etc.

While reporting well on these areas, the IHT goes a step further and includes article related to the expatriate. I love the cultural side that shows through a regular listing of art exhibitions in major cities around the world. There are articles on purchasing homes abroad. New American tax laws for expatriates. Life in international schools. Traveling off the beaten path. Up and coming markets, cities, and products. It's a global view, one that I need because that's life in the 21st century, especially while living abroad.

For the best international news coverage, try the International Herald Tribune.

Summary: A help when overseas
Comment: The IHT is a condensed NY Times. It often has very high- quality articles. It follows the editorial liberal left line of the Times. While I am not enamored of it politically it does provide serious writing and news on a wide range of topics.
Of course like most of the world's media it considerably underreports the worst aspects of those closed societies it has more problematic access to.
On the whole though this is a paper especially good for the American news- starved tourist somewhere out there in the big world.

Summary: Good on news and business
Comment: When traveling overseas, the IHT is a great way to stay in touch with news and business. For sports and entertainment news, however, you're better off picking up the USA Today international editions, as those topics are near nonexistent in the IHT.

Summary: The best paper around, but the worst price around
Comment: Its true, it really is a great newspaper, especially if you live outside the US. But after reading this paper in 3 different foreign countries over the past 3 years, you have to wonder why the IHT charges over [money amount]per paper. It really seems to price a large percentage of would be customers away to other papers. Its quite sad. In fact, while I was in greece I subscribe to the paper for 3 months for about [money amount]in which you would pay nearly [money amount]for that 3 months in the US. If your listening IHT, try lowering you subscription price!

Summary: The Best of the Best
Comment: Whenever I'm abroad I always pick up the IHT. This newspaper is great; it features articles mostly pulled from the New York Times and the Washington Post. The focus is very international, although domestic U.S. issues get ample coverage. The paper is an excellent, well-balanced source for news, whether you are an American living in this country or living abroad; and it's also perfect for students of English or U.S. politics and culture.
