At work I trawl through different news sites looking for online ad industry news. I also prefer to get my normal news from the internet, since all CNN is covering on TV is Katrina. Here are some of my favorite sites:
Digg
A geek news site that uses a unique method of gathering news and editing. Users log on to the site, and post links to anything they consider newsworthy. Each post is placed in a queue where other users can “digg” (aka vote) for it. The posts with the most “diggs” are promoted on the main home page.
Slashdot
The tech news site. News is user-submitted. The editor decides what goes up on the site, and what doesn’t.
Yahoo! News
I like Yahoo! news, because it combines news from nearly all the major news publications.
Google News
Like Yahoo!, Google also combines news from different sources, but all the links lead to other web sites, which can sometimes cause problems.
Michael Yon: Online Magazine
Definately not hard news. But if you want to find out what’s going on in Iraq, hear it from a guy who’s actually there, and actually getting shot at.
