Good news for economics teachers.
The venerable London-based magazine, The Economist, now provides content for the current issue, on-line, for free. After a time the content goes behind the proprietary wall, much like the New York Times. But for a week, at least, you can get the latest from this premium publication.
If you’re really into the magazine, you can sign up for the Economist screensaver, which will give you access to their compilation of economic statistics for the world, and quick access to the current issue.
I find the charts and articles each week provide a plethora of warm-up possibilities, project backup, or supplementary information to bring economics to life for students. It’s one of the more expensive magazines available, though, and I do wish they had significant discounts for educators or classroom use.

One of the more interesting articles in recent issues of the Economist is the poll results of attitudes of American and British respondents.

Of particular interest, look how the respondents “trust” national and local politicians. Then look how much they trust “university” professors. One can see the “dumbing down” of America in one simple question. The Dunning-Kruger immediately effect comes to mind.
