on opinion roundups. I am such an op-ed junkie
that I
started a site with journalist friends -- OpinionSource.com.
Three newsletters -- U.S., Europe, and China -- which
deliver key op-ed context and links on a daily
basis. Online archive is available as well. We
launched it at the Davos World Economic Forum -- very
positive response."
Sarah
Milstein, a regular contributor here, pointed
me to
FundRace.org
(a site she's not affiliated with). This site shows you
who's been donating to the Republican and Democractic
parties. The
City Maps
and
Neighbor
Search features are what you will want to check
out. The "About" page says: "We wondered what we could
see about campaign finance, what kind of statements we
could make about where the money that affects elections
comes from, by poking through the electronic
contribution data from our current presidential race."
It's not 100 percent accurate, but is good for getting
the big picture. From the folks who brought us the
whimsical (but not always updated)
GoogleRace.com
site.
Kathy Summers pointed me
to her site,
HealthWriting.com,
which has "lots of links and resources for health
writers and a page called
'The
Global Sneeze' that chronicles the conflicts of
interest rampant in medical research and
journalism." Also check out her
tips
for health writers.
