My Preferred News Sources


Reddit.com - On August 29th, Obama broke Reddit by hosting an "Ask me Anything" session, where users could ask unfiltered questions to a live President for 30 minutes. I'm so happy his appearance has caused Reddit to increase in popularity, because it has so much too offer. You're bound to laugh when you're on it, with its overabundance of memes and other entertaining content. Most importantly, it is accurately called the "Front page of the Internet" because news always hits Reddit first; links to articles about current events are instantly uploaded from credible and unique sources.

This site has a lot of lingo to learn (up-votes, down-votes, subreddits, karma-whoring), but it is simple to learn and absolutely addictive.


I've enjoyed the New York Times op-ed page for a while now, my favorite reporter being Nicholas Kristof. There's not much to say here because nearly everyone is familiar with the newspaper, but I enjoy the columns they produce.

I started doing freelance work for NextGen nearly a year ago, and it is an amazing site for college students looking to hear the diverse viewpoints of young people across the nation from a variety of different universities. We're currently in the process of uniting with Facebook and The Washington Post in urging Obama and Romney to participate in an open forum, so the site has exciting prospects for the future.



I had an actual subscription to TIME Magazine for a couple of years and loved their page-length feature stories and analysis on the latest news (gun control, obesity, etc.) Their layout is especially enticing.


I'm also subscribed to all of these sites on Twitter.


For your laughter, a dancing (scratching?) panda!
