Media websites that merit special attention.

Arts and Letters Daily The Chronicle of Higher Education publishes this daily gift of articulate and challenging reviews, articles, opinions and essays culled from newspapers and magazines around the world. The simple and elegant newspaper format displays intriguing teasers that link to full articles, as well as links to major media sites, columnists, classics, favorites, weblogs, and a welcome list of “Diversions.” Always thought provoking, and occasionally, just plain provoking. 

Broadcast Live With the simplest sort of site design, Broadcast Live manages to make the wide world of international live radio and TV clear and searchable. There are loads of great links here.  

Daylight Multimedia Podcasts Daylight Community Arts Foundation (DCAF), publisher of the bi-annual photojournalism publication, Daylight Magazine, are bringing the stories of emerging and established photojournalists to a broader audience through their monthly podcasts. Beautifully produced and narrated, the slide shows are exceptional documents that cover subjects from the crisis situations faced by the Afghan people to the spectacular but troubling changes in the landscape of Greenland. See the website for all previous podcasts and for a link to Daylight Magazine’s gallery of contributing photographers.  

Ideas – CBC Radio On the air for over 40 years, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's long running and much loved radio show gives in-depth consideration to ideas - many ideas. Each weeknight the show explores social issues, culture and the arts, geopolitics, history, biography, science and technology, and the humanities. Independent scholars and radio producers offer varying perspectives on these subjects and so many others in finely crafted hour-long (or multi-part) journeys into the topic. The sites archives are treasure house of fascinating topics that are now available in a weekly "Best Of" podcast. 

Media Channel MediaChannel does the important work of watching the watchers: investigating media issues through the means of criticism, dissection of breaking news, investigative reporting from hundreds of organizations worldwide, and links to a wealth of media watcher blogs.  

Online Newspapers This site includes links to thousands of newspapers from around the world, from Jordan to Japan. This super-friendly site even links to many small-city newspapers in the United States. Newspapers are searchable by global region, country, or (for the U.S.) state, so you can find what you need in just seconds. Also, listings indicate which foreign newspapers are published in English. 

Photoblogs As the name suggests, this site is all about photo blogs; in fact it is an exhaustive list of photoblogs, managed in a wiki format and may be the closest thing we have to a hub for the ever-expanding universe of photography–related web logs. 

Refdesk.com - Newspapers Bringing order to the chaos of the internet, Refdesk organizes a wide array of search and reference sources into an intelligent user-friendly system. Well constructed and unpretentiously designed, this site may well live up to its claim to be “The single best source for facts.”
