The main thing to remember when choosing 'the best sources for the best coverage on significant news' is the 's' in 'sources'. In order to maintain good coverage of worldly events it is important to get your information from multiple perspectives to build your own holistic view.

On that note, perhaps begin with three different sources. These are my recommendations:

Al-Jazeera (based in Qatar, good for an international perspective)

TIME (which is also online, but I love holding a newsmagazine, and based in NYC)

and The Guardian or

the BBC, both based in the UK.
