..........News

Google News Probably the best source for breaking news on the web, constantly being updated with links to stories in thousands of publications from around the world.

The New York Times yes, it's available on the web. And not just the full text of the printed edition, but also stuff that is only on the web.

The Washington Post also available.

CNN Interactive

What if you want something more substantial than breaking news that someone had at most a few hours to write up between the events and the time you get to read it? You can find periodicals, too. Here are some of my favorites:



......................Periodicals


Time

The New Republic

The Economist Do you know about The Economist? It's published in Britain and it may very well be the finest English-language newsweekly in the world. Not only is it good as a newsweekly, it provides an international perspective that you rarely get from the U.S. press. Too bad it's not completely available on the web unless you want to pay for a subscription. Still, there's a lot here worth looking at.
