*waves* Hey you all! This is your friendly neigborhood mod the_future_modernes checking in! The comm has been quiet lately I know! Was kinda soured on US politics for a while, which led to me ignoring all politics for the sake of my sanity. But I'm back now! And I'd like to work with you all to make the comm a nicely bustling place!There are after all 102 members and 117 subscribers! With that in mind, what can we do to make it easier for more of you all to post? I have gone ahead and added links to the side to the BBC, World News.com which is a newspaper aggregator, Caribbean News.com which is also a newspaper aggregator, and Himal, which is a South Asian magazine. Do you have any suggestions for more good news sources? I would love for the community to have a more world-oriented bent. How can we best accomplish that? Are there any concerns that anyone has? Let us know in comments!

You know, this has been a "article linking" type of comm, maybe we can make it more interactive, like... posting discussions, or people sharing their thoughts and questions about certain topics.

I don't know what you or the rest of the members think, though.

Do you mind links to blog posts?

You should probably add the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's news site. I can't think of a more reliable news source for Australian news.

Also, I second more interaction/discussion posts. Get people talking about things, rather than just reading about news stories all the time.

Also http://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/ <-- NHK for Japan('s take on world news)

I suggest AllAfrica.com and Pambazuka for African news sources.
