News to Me

by Brandt Weathers on July 1, 2011

Since 2006, a large percentage of people my age get their news from The Daily Show.  As of June, The Daily Show’s ratings are higher than almost any cable news program.  Some find this frightening, others humorous, and interesting.

I think it takes courage to admit where we get our news.  So, in the spirit of honesty, here is a list of my economics-oriented bookmarks (arranged by how often I look at them):

1. Real World Econ

2. Greg Mankiw’s Blog

3. Paul Krugman

4. Left Business Observer

5. Marginal Revolution

6. World Socialist Website

7. Naked Capitalism

For general news (or other niches) I go elsewhere, but this is basically my filter for the economic world.  Where do you get your regular economics news?

PS notice I tried to exclude business news on this list.  This means Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, The Economist etc.  If included, they would (honestly) be tied for first or second place.
