When I tell folks I'm co-editor of Peacework, one of the questions I get asked most is, "Where do you go for alternative news?" I'm never sure where to start, because of course, there are so many excellent peace and justice oriented magazines, newsletters, websites, and blogs out there. But in putting together a preliminary blog-roll for this site, I tried to pull together some of the sites I visit most often (see the blog roll on the right side of this page for links, and I'll paste the names in below as well).
I'd love to hear from you. If you check out any of these sites that perhaps you haven't visited before and like it, please let us know. Which sites do you found most useful, most original, most inspiring, most informative, most critical, most transformative? Which sites that I didn't mention would you add, and how come?
In Peace,
Sam Diener
