News sources

I think now it's time for me to share my sources. I don't have the most extensive list so if any of you have any news sites or blogs that you think I might like then feel free to suggest.

Online one of my main sources of news is BBC News. I've paid for it and I think it offers great up-to-date news and some handy features. I regularly read the Europe and Sport sections throughout the day. The design of the site is also something that I haven't found any other news site to come close to.

For my fix of Eastern European news I tend to use the Moscow Times. They usually cover all of the former Soviet states and despite the slightly regimented feel to some of the stories it's an invaluable source. I think they try to question the Russian government as much as they can without causing too many problems for themselves. They seem to stick to some of the journalistic rules very rigidly which often makes for awkward reading but it's as good as I have found.

Globalvoicesonline is a collection of daily news from around the world. It often adds a personal touch to the news stories that are reported by the big news sites and often things are written about that aren't reported anywhere else at all.

The Guardian's Comment is Free site is always a good read if you have the time/will to trawl through reader comments. It's good if you are really interested in a story and want to find out more but I wouldn't recommend going there just to find out the news - just read the paper instead!
