In need of news?

Then check out this site:

www.theweekmagazine.com

I dunno if you're already aware of this site, but it's one of my favourites.

It's not left nor right, but basically just talks about what all sides reported about in the last week, and leaves you to draw your own conclusions.

Coolest thing is it's (still) available in China, and provides for lots of good reading and even classroom material for some of us.

Anybody else got tips on where to get the real stuff?

I check out the good ol' UK weekly Guardian, it has a weekly round-up of news from around the world: www.guardian.co.uk/guardianweekly/0,,,00.html?gusrc=gpd

And then this site - a Kiwi news site which also has a weekly update from around the world:
www.scoop.co.nz/news/world.html

And then for real world breaking news, try this link to the local paper on my home island in NZ:
www.waihekegulfnews.co.nz/home/index.php

I have links to papers back home (THE Australian, Courier Mail, Financial Review), plus the UK Guardian and Time Asia for just keeping an eye on the world. Although my favourite site for that is Oz Radio National - I can listen and do other stuff at the same time.

For the students I give them stuff from www.economist.com/countries/

It's home page is pretty good as well.
