In the US at least, alternative perspectives on news and events are generally rare and hard to find - a result of overwhelming concentration and corporatization of mass media outlets (read Ben Bagdikian's classic work, "The Media Monopoly," for more details). Thus the need for sources such as those below.
- If you've got the RealAudioPlayer installed, this is a great place to visit for progressive news every day, including Pacifica Network News and Democracy Now!
Labourstart - A good place to go for world news and events from a labor/lefty perspective. The site loads quickly and content is presented efficiently.
Le Monde Diplomatique - One of the world's leading left newspapers from France, routinely offering some of the best analysis and fact-finding you'll find anywhere. Provides a refreshing alternative to the NYT, The Economist, and their ilk.
OneWorld - A nexus site for many international organizations working for a better world, with regular stories from alternative journalists.
