Creating an oasis in the desert of news

The Guardian is reportedly planning to create a US edition. This really annoys me, as it's going to be about a year too late for me to have any use for it - I just wish it had been there when I was in the US last year. One of the things I really miss whenever I'm in the US is a decent newspaper in the morning - I even bought the Daily Mail when I was in Florida. They actually print an edition of it in Orlando, which is exactly the same as the British version, but it's on the same principle as chip shops in Torremolinos - something to stop people getting worried by all the 'foreign' around them. Anyway, when I found a copy of The Guardian Weekly in Chicago, I was very happy, and hopefully this new Guardian will do well enough to survive in the US so, should I be there in the future, I'll not feel so homesick for a real newspaper.
