The Economist has pretty broad world news coverage. You probably won't do better than that. (US outlets are much more US--and to some degree Europe--centric. The US used to have decent weekly news magazines but they basically don't exist any longer and, in any case, were fairly US-centric.

I truly love ground news, but it constantly forgets where you are in the feed when you open an item so you'll be reading down fifty items or so and open one then go back to the list and have to start scrolling from the top again. It really, really wears on you. I wish they would finally fix it. Despite that major annoyance (it really makes me wonder whether they even dogfood), the Blindspot is so interesting I still power through.

Hopefully we have one of the devs reading hackernews :)
