I have got the habit of browsing through a few international news sites every day, such as BBC and NYT.

Now I would like to sort out a bunch of favourite newspaper type of sites to reinforce a broader perspective on the world.

Could you recommend me your favourite international (European, Asian, Australian, Middle Eastern, etc) news sites for me?

Australian sites:

[Australian](http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/) newspaper - a nationwide paper

[Sydney Morning Herald](http://www.smh.com.au) newspaper - more of a focus on Sydney and NSW

[The Age](http://www.theage.com.au) newspaper - more of a focus on Melbourne and Victoria

[Der Spiegel](http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,,00.html) - German weekly magazine, sort of in the vein of Newsweek or Time magazine. Usually read by left-wing intellectuals or those who claim to be (“Oh, but I read in the \*Spiegel \*the other day…”). A bit disdainful of “boulevard” topics, sometimes leading to sloppy research; other topics are usually quite thoroughly researched.
