Before We Get Started...

I want to introduce you all to a web site that, next to WSJM's, is one of my main sources for national news. 

This site has all the big national stories, plus interesting blogs and other commentary. My favorite part is the "Cheat Sheet." The Cheat Sheet has a list of everything you need to know before you go into work. 

Another great feature is "The Big Fat Story." Often when covering a news story, there are many different dimensions. "The Big Fat Story" highlights those different aspects. Today's big story, Obama's First Month of Presidency. The story examines what different analysts expect to happen over the next 45 days, what other Presidents have accomplished, and the ripple effect of the Bush Administration. 

More and more people use multi-news sources like these to get their daily dose of what's going on. I know I do. I wake up and I check WSJM, CNN, The Herald Palladium, WNDU, and all the press releases in my Inbox before I start my day. I think this web site gets that idea. I love how it pulls stories and ideas from many different sources, an then presents that information to the public in a clean, concise, professional, and, most importantly, interesting way.  

I've passed this site on to everyone I know. It's likely I'll link to it quite a bit. I hope you enjoy.
