I recently can across a cool site that is a "non-profit online news network featuring diverse, credible independent news and current affairs". It's called COA News - I'm not sure what COA stands for.
Much like most of the people here I'm a news junky, and I find myself searching through endless progressive news websites almost everyday. I enjoy it, don't get me wrong - the Internet is a wonderful thing. But I'm not sure how I missed this website, it's nice that I can go there when I'm busy and find a selection of various indy news sites, so that I can stay on top of what's going on. I'm also a big consumer of online video, and COA News actually posts videos often and they are from independent sources I didn't even know existed.
I'm also someone who likes to get news via email, and they do have a "News Alert Service"http://coanews.org/.... I've only received one alert so I can't say much about it. I'm just happy that after all these news junky years I'm still finding cool news websites!
