The discussion of these online-only news sites in class last night reminded me of this site I used to subscribe to, but I couldn't for the life of me remember the site's name. After a long, unfruitful search through my really old e-mails, it dawned on me - truthout.org.
Ha anyway, TruthOut is kinda a hybrid of a news aggregator and a fully functioning news website. It relies primarily on wire services for its news stories, including sources such as the Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, and even fellow online-only Politico.com, while providing original analysis and commentary.
The website is organized well, with even a specific "Issues" tab highlighting stories pertaining to several important political issues to help voters decide their stance.
As with any other organization, the opinions reflected in editorial pieces are varied and all have their own particular slant but the site offers TruthOut original pieces as well as those from various news organizations, such as the New York Times and The Nation.
I would strongly encourage you to check out the site, I think it does a really good job of bringing together a myriad of sources to keep the individual well-informed. I would encourage you to also sign up for the e-mail newsletter with the day's top stories, as I just did once again.
