Even if you can't find time for an actual newspaper, taking the time to read Slate's Today's Papers, International Papers, and maybe one or two of the opinion columns, will drastically improve your comprehension of what's going on in the world.

I read pretty much everything in Slate, and it takes me no more than an hour a day.
