Ever heard of Quartz?
I really like this 'digitally native news outlet'-cum-blog that was established in 2012 and is based in New York's SoHo neighbourhood.
Owned by Atlantic Media Co. (also the publisher of The Atlantic), the stated mission of Quartz is to provide its readers with up-to-date information on the latest trends in the new global economy. The current staff includes veterans of the American news business, such as the publisher, Jay Lauf (formerly at Wired magazine, then with a long stint at The Atlantic) himself, as well as relative newcomers to the scene.

Knowledgeable, creative and truly international, the editors, correspondents and reporters cover current economic trends, discuss the intricacies of international relations and report on new societal, cultural and technological developments.
The minimalist design (thanks for that, too!) and diverse perspectives make this news site a very refreshing (and thankfully quick) read.
The different authors regularly write about the latest in energy politics, tech stuff, the EURO, consumer politics, the future of finance, digital money, borders, cloud computing, debt crises or the mobile web (their current 'obsessions', as they call it).

One of these obsessions is the PR China's current transition that deserves a special column. I would especially recommend the pieces of Gwynn Guilford (general reporter / editor), Lily Kuo (a reporter covering emerging markets) and Adam Pasick (the senior Asia correspondent). Other special sections include - more generally - ideas, markets, tech and lifestyle.
