Online | Independent

AlterNet is a left-wing news website that was created in 1998. It publishes original editorial commentary as well as commentary from other sources. It is a project of the Independent Media Institute, and politically left-of-center. Alternet's content is mostly progressive and ostensibly independent of any particular political party. It provides several services, ranging from "content files", which collect stories about particular topics and moderated discussions on published articles. Disclosure: NewsTrust Editorial Director Rory O'Connor is a frequent contributor to AlterNet. More » (Source: Wikipedia)
