I'm a news and political junkie, and so I rely on the Web for around-the-clock updates. And these are the sites I use, daily and weekly, to keep myself informed.
Africa
- Current Events Over 70 links to newss sites on Africa.
The Age A very good Australian
newspaper.
* Arts & Letters Daily
An anthology of some of the best essays to be found online, from various
sites and online versions of magazines. Required reading for the informed
mind.
Asia-Pacific Media
Links 48 links to various Asian & Pacific media outlets.
Boston Globe Online Despite
its recent embarassments (of course, Mike Barnacle was a grade-A porker
and always had been, and his roasting was decades-overdue) the Globe
remains a good newspaper.
Buzzflash A site of links pointing
out just how contemptible conservatives and Dubya really are.
China News Digest (CND) For
when you want to know what's going on in China.
CNN Interactive With hourly updates
and an unmatched range, you'll rarely do better for news on the Web than
with CNN.
CovertAction Quarterly A
leftist news organ, but the information here is usually fairly reliable.
* Crisisweb
An excellent guide to worldwide crises.
The Economist The superb English
newsweekly.
The Emperor's New Clothes A leftist
newssite. Unfortunately, the information here is sometimes suspect, but
it's still worth checking out.

news on Central Asia.
The Guardian The very good
English newspaper.
Japan Times Online A very
good Japanese newspaper.
Neue Zurcher Zeitung

The PanAfrican News Agency
A great site for news on Africa.
* Poynter.org Medianews
Simply the best site on the Net for keeping track of the media's doings.
Required reading for any media junkie.
Salon.com I hope it stays around
for a while, 'cause Salon is one of the best and most readable news magazines
on the Web, even if it does have the contemptible David Horowitz writing
for them.
Slate Magazine Not as
good as Salon.com, but still worth
checking out every morning.
The Times Internet Edition
That's the
London Times.
The Times of IndiaAnother
excellent Times.
