The Old Hometown
Ever wonder what's happening back in the old hometown? Even if the town or city you grew up in doesn't have its own newspaper, chances are you'll find news of your birthplace in the paper of a neighboring, perhaps larger, town or city.
Click on http://newslink.org/ and you'll be transported to one of the Internet's most informative sites. Here you can read any newspaper in the United States--or the world, for that matter--that has its own web site.
Even the Siuslaw News here on Florence began a few months ago putting its important news stories online. Here's the local link: http://www.thesiuslawnews.com/
Want to practice your Spanish, French, German? No? Then how about Swedish, Hungarian, Japanese? (You can install free language packs if your computer doesn't have them.) Just select the continent, then the country, then the paper you'd like to read.
The newslink site can connect you to dozens of magazines.
Plus radio and TV stations.
