Subscription Term Name:1 year
I've subscribe to the Guardian Weekly for about a year now. It's an amazing piece of work: balanced, yet editorially opinionated; serious at times, yet very funny. The Guardian - and its accompanying Guardian Weekly published for its international readers - is the best thing written in the English language. As far as newspapers are concerned, the Guardian is in a league by itself. Those of us from the States have access to some high quality papers such as the NYT, WP, and WSJ. The Guardian, however, exceeds all these three in terms of range of coverage and quality of writing.
Since the daily Guardian is printed in the UK, I don't have easy access to it. Therefore, I read some Guardian articles online. To really get a feel for the paper, international readers can subscribe to the Guardian Weekly. The publishers compile numerous articles from the week and print them in the Weekly. Printed in Britain, Canada, and Australia, the tabloid-sized paper arrives quickly and freshly relevant. Its relevance is bolstered by the fact that so many of the issues and angles covered in the articles aren't often found in the domestic media. US news and international affairs are covered very well.
I learn more about my own country from the Guardian Weekly than I do from CNN, USA Today, and Fox News combined. You'll be glad that you subscribed.

The Guardian Weekly is a joint project between French Le Monde, US Washington Post, and British The Guardian/The Observer. These newspapers are directed towards the educated middle-class. There is a strong tendency towards analysis, sometimes quite opinionated. That said, I do like The Guardian - when I lived in the UK it was about the only newspaper that was readable. The other main newspapers either belonged to Rupert Murdoch (Times, Sun) or were dry as tinder (Independent, Telegraph). The Guardian write in an educated readable way, and depsite it is a bit left-leaning it is well balanced and concerned with real news, not gossip and sensationalism. It has a strong stance on global issues, and therefore it was obvious that it should be involved in a project like this.

The GUARDIAN WEEKLY contains a compilation of some of the best coverage taken from the previous week's daily editions of The GUARDIAN, The OBSERVER, LE MONDE and the WASHINGTON POST. The publication's format remains basically the same as when I first read it as The MANCHESTER GUARDIAN WEEKLY in 1956.
A recent issue contained news articles on a variety of topics from Syria's possible troop withdrawal from Lebanon to an account of a football game between Manchester United and Crystal Palace. The edition also included many news capsules from around the world as well as much comment and analysis on diverse subjects. Two pages were devoted to book reviews.
The quality of writing in the GUARDIAN WEEKLY is consistently high. The bias seems to be slightly to the left. I recommend it mostly because of its interesting worldview and the excellence of its reporting.

Disappointing
I was expecting hard news, but I got sports, opinion, and celebrity stories. Also, four-letter words that are more acceptable to the British than Americans. Read more

A Wonderful News Resource
The London Guardian Weekly is fabulous. It tells you things that you may not find in the American media. I find the price for the weekly steep but well worth it.
