News and Current Information and Opinion

National

• New York Times - national and international news, opinion

Local

• Seattle Times - I started checking Seattle Times online after my dad stopped ordering the paper. This is a great place to get local news but also bigger news stories.

• Redmond Reporter - I get news from my hometown from the online version of their newspaper, Redmond Reporter.

Aggregators

• Yahoo! - Yahoo is my home page and it gives me links to many different news stories with know specific concern to a certain location.

• MSN - If I don't feel like using Yahoo, I will check MSN for any interesting news links/headlines.

Sources I will start to use

• Woot! - Information and deals on a new material item every day.

• 60 Minutes - Good information on interesting and varying topics.

Music and Movies

• Pandora - I listen to a lot of different songs from the mixed play lists that Pandora creates.

• Facebook - People post songs from youtube that they like which is where I hear about a lot of new and upcoming bands.

• Netflix - Netflix gives a collaborative filter based off movies that I've previously watched and ratings from viewers and critics.

Balance Perspective

• BBC - Reading about global news would help balance my perspective because I only read about news from the United States.

Deepen Perspective

• [www.npr.org/ NPR] - This news source would add depth to what I already read about.
