2. THE GUARDIAN
Another excellent read is The Guardian, a British newspaper. Anyone with an interest in sports should read these articles, which provide an unbiased opinion.

3. THE ATLANTIC AND THE NEW YORK TIMES
The Atlantic and The New York Times both have a diverse selection of articles. The New Yorker will also provide you with the opportunity to read well-written articles.

WHY IS VARIETY IMPORTANT?
It is critical not to subscribe to a single school of thought and to keep in mind the biases of these publications when reading them. This will help you when you appear for group discussions and personal interviews.
