Progressive Media Resources Group

I'd like to join this group. I'm an admitted news junkie and like DU for it's diverse access to news and links that would take me all day, every day to read through. I have been meaning to check this group for a few weeks and have procrastinated, sorry. Since it sounds interesting and started on my birthday, somehow I feel drawn to this group.

I have some additions for news sites and sources...

http://mountainwestnews.org/
(Used to be HeadwatersNews) out of one of Montana's universities. I live in the northern Rockies and a lot of environmental/natural resources/wildlife-political things go on here that should be more widely known. This site has regional daily news on weekdays and posts reviewable subject links on weekends and holidays. Well worth checking into.

political news headline portal

where you can find Ezra Klein's stuff when he's not on MSNBC-ED-RMS-Last Word. (merely for those who might be interested.)

http://www.afp.com/en
International news, less subjective than BBC.

An interesting nonprofit broad spectrum yet progressive news approach from Bainbridge Island, WA.

http://www.thewildlifenews.com/ (Covers wildlife, policy, politics, natural resources)
A blog created back in the 1990s by a PoliSci professor, in Idaho, for his students but was very popular off campus so it lives on though he's been retired for a while now. Some politicians read it and sometimes it makes some of them think. Articles are written by the likes of George Wurthener and some folks you've never heard of but are noted actuaries in their states from elected officials, F&G folks, people who actually, physically reintroduced the grey wolf to Yellowstone NP and central Idaho and NGO-wildlife-advocacy folks... the comments can be as annoying as hey can be here (DU,GD) but the articles are worth the read. Kind of sporadic and sometimes real busy on putting forth articles. The thread titled: Do You Have Any Interesting Wildlife News? is a good place to ferret out stuff that gets hidden in the dregs of news services.

There are many others in my bookmark file but I'll leave it at these for now.
