 Essential Sites

Jason Maoz’s Media Monitor at The Jewish Press has posted "Web Choices 2007" — his annual list of worthwhile websites and blogs.  There are now 72 sites on his list.

Over at COMMENTARY, there is an impressive new blog — “Contentions” — with another list of important links, which includes several that are not on the Media Monitor’s. 

If you add the additional sites from Contentions to the Media Monitor list, plus the other ones on the JCI list to the left, you would have approximately 100 significant sites, almost all of which post daily (and many of which post multiple times each day).  And even that list would be incomplete.

We’ve come a long, long way since the time we had to rely on CBS, NBC and ABC and The New York Times.  To see how far, and to read an important reflection on the Iraq war, the mainstream media and the blogosphere, do not miss Michael Yon’s extraordinary post from a tent in Baghdad.  It is essential reading.
