I have found The Slate’s email newsletter “Today’s Papers” a nice low volume, low anger-producing way to get a somewhat balanced impression of what’s going on in the world. I signed up for the daily email, so each morning Slate tells me what the nation’s newpaper editors thought were the day’s most important stories. USA Today ’s editors seem to be the worst, never anything controversial. Anyway, I would recommend it, they’re always really short and to the point. of all the bulk mail I get, it’s the only one that I actually read before deleting.
nice.. i just went to check it out, and i think after one quick reading i am already an addict. could this quench my insatiable need to read every damn newstand in town as i walk through the city? maybe. maybe it free up those hours at work spent cruising the NYT home page. i do hope so.
