Local Rags
The Best
Local Alternative Weekly and one of the best in the country, AND
a GREAT web site...for what's left of the alt.print.media
nationwide, surf The
Association of Alternative Newspapers.
The PioneerPlanet, from the daily
that figured out faster than the competition that the Web is
where it's at...as well as the Strib.
The U's rag regularly
scoops the dailies, especially on university news &
sports...always worth a look...and my alma mater!
Insight
News, Minnesota's progressive
African-American newspaper.
Minnesota's Journal of Law
and Politics: the relentlessly smart-ass chronicle of matters
political and legal...
One of the Twin Cities'
best neighborhood newspapers, from the West Side of St. Paul (not
West St. Paul)...
MN
On-line, the service of Minnesota
Public Radio, Twin Cities Public Television, and the absolutely
vital Minnesota Regional Network.
Request, a locally based national music rag, with an eclectic
mix of new bands below bigger rags' radars, as well as original
takes on current biggie bands...plus its another place I've
written for.
F&C is the legal and business paper of record in the Twin
Cities: bankruptcies, court decisions, leins, and more.
Establishment Oracles
Signs of the Times: The Newspaper of Record (if
not humility) and its West Coast counterpart, the L.A. Times.
From the mainstream
left: The Washington Post's excellent
site...and on the Moonie right: The Washington Times.
The underappreciated Christian Science
Monitor...the wonky but useful Atlantic.
Good reportin', great
features, frothin' editorial page, and a comprehensive website:
The Wall Street
Journal...
The un-wonky but occasionally entertaining Time...the OS/2 of the newsmag world, U.S. News
CNN's big move to the web...also, USA Today: Did they know 15 years ago how much their paper would
look like a web page today?
The London Daily & Sunday Times: The Newspaper of Record for John Bull (a.k.a. Rupert Murdoch).
My new home network...with ABC-TV links as well...
A selection of weekly articles from the densest general
interest newsmag in the world (and I mean that as a
compliment!)...the Economist.
Politics
Mother Jones has been showing some spunk of late, with a pretty good
job of Net-enhanced hypertext...The Nation, another lefty rag of note, offers selections.
The Left Business Observer:
Who says that lefties know nothing about capitalism?...published
by respected economic gadfly Douglas Henwood, who afflicts
establishments left and right.
Netizen is Hotwired's better-respected political/hipster thang,
featuring some way-insider media insights...
The Village Voice Worldwide:
from the nation's most venerable (but fading) lefty weekly. (Now
free in N.Y.C...)
Genetic fade? JFK Jr.'s hipster
Vanity-Fair-meets-politics tabloid, George, now without wigs on the cover..
Countermedia's lefty and
neighborhood types send guerrilla reporters to break through
in-bred maistream media coverage.
The
American Spectator: The right-wing
Enquirer...
Cyber-Culture
Slate, Mike Kinsley's and Bill Gates's
attempt to conquer cyber-media (we'll see)...and MSNBC, NBC's and Bill Gates's attempt to
conquer cable- and cyber-media.
Around long enough to acquire a patina of un-hipness
(due in part to its own self-congratulatory nature), Hotwired is still worth a glance.
Internet
Underground, newer, less un-hip, and
spunky enough to justify sampling.
Journalism Resources
Editor & Publisher's excellent guide to all the Newspapers on the Web in the world!!
Positive
Press - Good News Everyday: for every
listener who thinks that we media types are too cynical.
Got a beef against the
media? Do the First Amendment Folks actually police themselves?
Check out the Minnesota News Council. As
Edward R. Murrow said, "Journalists don't have thin skins,
they have no skins."
Culture & Lifestyle
EW: The mass mag of mass entertainment...Mr. Media tracks mostly glitzy or entertainment-oriented
magazines, but some good links here.
America's largest-selling gay mag...
All the cleavage that fits: Cosmo Magazine (from the
Mischke reading library) on-line!
