Newspapers/Magazines On The Web - 8/14/2003
NANDO -Raleigh News and Observer
  Probably the broadest news source on the net, split into Global, US National, US Politics, Opinions, Business, Infotech, Health and Science, and Entertainment.
NYC Times
  Excellent news service. Check out their science and technology sections.
London Times
  The Best of the British news services. I also recommend the London Telegraph and the wonderful BBC News Online. All are a welcome contrast to the AP-heavy stuff of most US sites.
CNN
  Yes, they do update this as it happens. Also see Fox News and Sky News from the UK.
Reuters and AP
  Mostly valuable because it's constantly updated on a regular basis. There is also The Wire, the complete AP service, which has to be accessed through a news site of one sort or other first. Also UPI's headline service.
MSNBC
  Well, more for completeness sake. This site is a terrible resource hog, and crashes a lot of browsers.
APBONLINE
  Has to be seen to be believed. The online Police Gazette, complete with cop scanners online and the like.
Drudge
  Very good multi-listing of News sources and columnists. Yes. I'm aware of the man's rep. It's a good resource. See also Lucianne.com for news links.
  Molly Ivins
  My favorite columnist, from her Fort Worth (TX) paper. See also the columnists from the NY Times and the Washington Post. Other favorite columnists include Cal Thomas, Richard Reeves, Hester's travel stories, Dan Savage's Savage Love, Reiter's Nothing Personal, and Blue Glow on TV.
The Comics
  This is from the Houston Chronicle, and requires a (free) password. Also see the Philadelphia Enquirer's set of strips, Red Meat; Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet; the Piranha Club; User Friendly; Tom Tomorrow; Dry Bones; Tom the Dancing Bug; Carol Lay; Pathetic Geek Stories).
Washington Post
  Excellent politics and government coverage.
Chinese News
  I'm keeping track of the People's Daily, Xinhua News Service, and the South China Morning Post. China Daily, Chinese Radio are some others.
 Slate and Salon
  Salon is presently my favorite on-line magazine - lots of depth. Also see Newsweek, Time, RollCall (US Congressionally focused magazine).
USA: There are no national papers in the US, but these act like they think they are (aside of the ones listed above):

 
NEWS: Major News Services and outlets
US REGIONAL POWERHOUSES: What a term. These are the other big regionals that I keep a finger on for news:
CHICAGO: Check out these:
  • Chicago Tribune the more Republican paper and a better read. Good Movies section.
  • Chicago Sun-Times, geared more to Joe Six-Pack. Check out the links to METRA, CTA and local traffic
  • Chicago Reader , the original underground, with the best in-city housing ads and the home of The Straight Dope
  • Chicago NewCity - for Generation Xers who are too arty to live.
OTHER US MIDWESTERN NEWS SOURCES:
 Minneapolis Tribune-Star  Columbus Dispatch  Dayton (Ohio) Daily News
 Indianapolis Star&News  Findlay Courier (Ohio)  Detroit News
 Milwaukee Journal  Cincinnati Enquirer  La CrosseTribune, WI
 Toledo Blade   Sioux Falls (SD) Argus-Leader  Green Bay News Chronicle, WI
Capital Times & Wisc St Journal (Madison) KELO and KDLT (Sioux Falls, SD)
NONE OF THE ABOVE: The odd, the alternative, the wacko in newspapers

And the multiple-site listings:

CANADA: Check out the Toronto Globe and Mail (as close to a national newspaper as Canada gets). Also try CANOE, which I rather like, or the limited Macleans site.
Also check out the following:
ALL THEM FURRINERS: Here's the Best of The Rest:
RADIO SERVICES: There's a pile of these - more than I'd have thought. There's the BBC, the CBC, and the Voice of America, NPR (with a station listing and RealAudio verions of All Things Considered and Morning Edition) Also check out RealAudio Timecast: Daily Briefing, which is a listing of various RealAudio radio programs.
NEWS ON COMPUTERS: : The latest from the computer industry and whatnot. This includes:
MAGAZINES ON-LINE: : The latest from the Slick Press. This includes:
