The New Media Diva

Earlier this month fellow ONA member Tim Overdiek posted an entry on his blog listing his favorite non-US news sites. I tried getting in a plug for my shop, but he didn’t bite.:-)

In any case, here are some of the non-US sites I hit up when I can:

Cafebabel: Paris, France. Not a true news site, but it’s a Euro-based current affairs mag.

The Guardian: London, UK: Leans further to the left than Angela Davis at a Black Panther rally.

Al-Ahram: Cairo, Egypt. A weekly (hence, no breaking news) pub that provides in-depth news analyses of the Arab world.

Al Jazeera: Doha, Qatar. The website of the broadcaster. Tip…download Zattoo to watch AJ (and other channels) for free. Just sit through an ad at the beginning of the program.

Aftenposten: Oslo, Norway. I can’t remember how I happened upon this one. I think I was reading a story on an RSS feed about Martha and her angels.

The First Post: London, UK. Probably my favorite layout. Commentaries can be pretty biting.

Der Spiegel: Hamburg, Germany.

Haaretz: Tel Aviv, Israel.

Y-Net News: Tel Aviv, Israel.

Swissinfo: Bern, Switzerland.

All Africa: Johannesburg, South Africa; Dakar, Senegal; Lagos, Nigeria.

Japan Times: Tokyo, Japan.
