My Favorite Sites

The Huffington Post
This online news source contains a good mix of hard news, politics, and feature stories. Founded by Arianna Huffington in 2005, The HuffPost began as a blogging outlet but has since become a credible news source, with writer David Wood winning the site a Pulitzer Prize in 2012 and international editions being published in Canada, Great Britain, France and Spain.

Thought Catalog
Thought Catalog is a digital magazine that was created in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2010. Anyone can submit pieces to be published, but they must be entertaining, journalistic and literary. According to the site, "the more worldviews and rhetorical styles on the site, the better. We want to tell all sides of the story."

The Daily Muse
A relatively new site, The Daily Muse was launched in September 2011. The site focuses mainly on career advice, and features job listings for those that are in search of a new job. It also features lifestyle articles on topics such as fashion and cooking,  and advice for management and workers in general.

CNN
The Cable News Network site is full of both hard news and feature stories focusing on the U.S. and international news. I am partial to the opinion pieces on this site, and I find them snappy and informative.

Pink & Black
As a staff writer for this site, I'm a little biased, but I thought that Pink & Black was a great site before I even applied to be a writer for them. Aimed at teenage to young-adult women, this site features advice, feature columns, and some news stories.
