With
listings for journalism

it's an excellent source for information including:
Journalism
Links for Canada which has loads of great links (better
than Sidebar, dammit) like
- Julian
Sher's JournalismNet.com with its own links to:
- J-Net
Training
- Spy
On People, many of these tips are now out of date or
something. I've tried several with no luck, but I haven't
tried them all. (My own standby technique is simply to type
the name, along with some kind of identifying feature, into
Google. I will be posting new methods that I've tested out
along with "Spy" software in a few weeks.

Showbizwire
Showbizwire
is excellent for fast, informed, and current entertainment
news. Not really a source itself, Showbizwire selects interesting
and current top headlines from various online suppliers such
as Billboard, E!
Online, Hollywood Reporter,
and Rolling Stone.

Oddly
Enough
[This service is presently unavailable. If it doesn't return
soon, I'll replace it with something else.] This service from
Reuters focuses on odd and bizarre
news stories. Good for filler
or as inspiration for features.

American
& World News
Slate
(In-depth American coverage)
Slate's
style of "full
coverage journalism"
provides incredibly in-depth coverage of American issues with
special focus
on the actual media coverage of these issues.
Especially interesting is the regular column, Today's
Papers.

Third
World Network
The Third
World Network
(TWN)
has a strong focus on World
Trade
issues viewed largely from the perspective of developing countries.
The copy is professional, but without flair.
Return

GlobalInfo
Globalinfo
is another excellent source of well researched and professionally
balanced world news stories. Again, however, the presentation
is dry and accessible only to the committed reader.
