While online reading will probably never take the place of old-fashioned books and magazines, I have sampled a few sites and found them to offer an intriguing variety of interesting essays and articles. Here are a few of my favorites. City PagesThe online edition a St. Paul-Minneapolis publication
CybereditionsThis wonderful site offers a compendium of articles on politics, music, the arts, book reviews, social issues from periodicals and newspapers all over the world, for example, in addition to the standard American newspapers and magazines, it offers selections from the Jerusalem Post, American Spectator, Mother Jones, Civilization, The Nation, Slate, and dozens of others. Liberals and conservatives and middle-of-the-road types are all represented. The offerings are changed and updated five days a week.
The OnionThe online version of the nation's leading satirical newspaper, which is actually a mock newspaper. The venerable New Yorker magazine in its May 10, 1999 issue, called the print version "the country's most interesting satiric publication" (May 10, 1999)
SalonAn online magazine featuring articles on the arts, culture, politics, and so forth. Very hip and readable.
Slatean online magazine offering commentary on a variety of issues, especially favored by political wonks)
WiredAn ultrahip online magazine devoted to computer and technology issues, generally of the cutting-edge variety
Utne ReaderThis site offers a modified version of this magazine which publishes the best of the alternative press.)
