Afternoon,
Since many of you have been kind enough to furnish me with some newsy
weblinks, thought it was probably time that I do the same in return.
As some have commented, the best approach seems to be to read a variety
of news sites and try and discern some concensus of statement or opinion.
Then balance that against your own political leaning, whether you accept
the result.
Regarding overseas news websites, given current circumstances overseas,
it's hard to find websites that have broad coverage yet don't just present
a consistent US perspective.
For that reason, I don't tend to read the main US newspapers very often.
Nor some of their European counterparts (like the BBC, The Times, Der
Spiegel etc) or their Asian counterparts.
New Zealand New Sites
It's difficult to find NZ based news websites apart from Stuff and NZ Herald.
Have to agree with a few that the refacing of the NZ Herald has not added to
either the quality of its content or its presentation.
The only other NZ based websites that I look at are:
Scoop :
http://www.scoop.co.nz/
News Room :
https://www.newsroom.co.nz/
and occasionally the blog
No Right Turn :
https://norightturn.blogspot.co.nz/ (only as a flag
to recent events)
Overseas Newspapers - Inventory by Geographic Area (if you're trying to
find online newspapers or magazines)
http://www.world-newspapers.com/
http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/
Overseas News Sites - Europe
I offer a few that some might find of interest. Find that many of the
stories (and their telling) presented on these websites have tended to
"stand the test of time" a little better. You're welcome to disagree.
