Which paper are you reading?

I am not a regular news kind of person. I can go days without knowing the details of the outside world. Internet news? It’s okay. And I don’t trust prime time news hours, so that is pretty much out. But I know that part of dealing with politics and creating change is knowing what is going on in the world. After speaking with several co-workers who are in progressive politics full time had a regular list of reads.

CNN and Google alerts were pretty popular. The New York Times was on the list, as is easy to imagine. But, a new, yet regular name that kept coming up was The Politico. Although new, the newspaper has seemed to quench the thirst of those looking for daily forms of alternative media sources. As recommended by the vice president of the progressive organization I work for, I read The Politico pretty much everyday. They usually have a paper Monday thru Thursday. But, there are days when I go to the blue dispenser next to the other newspapers, it has been empty on occasion at 8am. Other than that, the articles are really edgy and focus on progressive, Democratic politics. They also have job postings at the back for those interns looking to stay in the District. Interested in left wing political news on your way to work? Pick up the Politico.
