I surf for my news, and would be interested in hearing what news sites you all find worthwhile. Preferably English language, and preferably neither leftist nor rightist. I'm looking for a more international outlook in my news sources, so I thought I'd ask this global forum. Thanks!

If your definition of news is broad enough to include the way a culture views itself and its activities, consider the World Radio Network at [url="http://www.wrn.org/"]http://www.wrn.org/[/url] You can listen live, or visit their archives for the latest recordings by over twenty-five of the world's international broadcasters. They include China, Austria, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Australia, etc.

The Canadian Globe and Mail is a really great source for news around the world.

Thanks! Anyone else? I'm kinda curious about the British news sources - any Brits out there have a suggestion?

Well i usually use [url="http://www.sky.com/skynews"]Sky[/url] they can be biased, but they are usually up to date.

IMO [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk"]BBC[/url] has the best international news report. Not always the fastest, but the best and least biased in-depth articles and analysis.

Also try
[url="http://www.worldnews.com/"]http://www.worldnews.com/[/url]

where you can chose either by subject or by region. They have many links to national newsservice in countries outside Europe/US, which IMO is very important to reduce bias.

Good luck
