Reading List

I have compiled a list of some on-line journals, newspapers, blogs, etc. that I feel are good places to get information. Please send me some idea's of your own. There is lots of good stuff out there! Personally, I read one article on the subject, then glance over 1 or 2 more to make sure numbers, dates, names, and the like are consistent. I have found that foreign newspapers are better information sources, even for domestic events, than American newspapers (big surprise, I know). Most of these are of a left-leaning nature. More due to my personal preference than anything. If you are right leaning, and can find right leaning sources that don't compromise factual integrity, hit up those. Matters not in the end. The core facts and truths are what we are looking for here. OK, here are a few sources for you:

Raw Story and Drudge Report: A left and a right leaning source of headlines. Good places to start for a headline scan. Always good for a helpful link or 2.

Raw Story

Drudge Report


Newspapers: A few from several regions. It is quite entertaining to read the Russia and American accounts of interactions between the 2 countries. The British papers are much like ours (you can see that they are obsessed about sports just like we are!). Others are from a bunch of places. No time to read them all everyday, but great to scan all the headlines on days of global events (The tsunami, the current economic panic, the Iraq invasion, even our last election).

Russia: Pravda.ru RT Moscow Times

England: Telegraph Times Guardian

Asia: Asian Times Online Japan Times

These are just a few of my favorites. You can find any newspaper in the world (theoretically) at this like the link below. Find your own favorites!
