Better, funnier than, The Economist, though I have given up reading the latter (too much content, too little takeaway for the money), and, becauseI dislike reading pixils at length, thus haven't yet master the trick of reading Seven Things through. It is least competetive with Ellis, though less easy to scan. Self-segregating generations? In any event, I don't know how you do it.

Length/complexity v. brevity an enternal problem. Still hard to beat print newspapers on this (when there is a choice), thought the NYT has reached a point at which I read its front section and discard the rest. The FT has pretty much solved the tradeoff.
