It never occurred to me to check the Daily Mail. (Do they put the Page 3 girls online?) But I've been reading The Guardian online for years. It's not just a truth issue, it's a perspective issue. U.S. papers report too much U.S.-only news, and what international news they report tends to be only insofar as it relates to the U.S.. This doesn't seem to be as true of The Guardian or the BBC. Maybe it comes of being an ex-colonial power, I don't know.
I do think a lot of the credit to their growing international readership has to go to Google News. Most of the sites I've added to my daily news reading got their because I noticed that I kept liking their articles when I read them in Google News.
Why do British news papers have more appeal?
