I came across Press Gallery today and I recommend you check it out. (This is one of the uses of a blog after all, as a compendium of reference pointers to other sites that have passed muster with the arbiter of good ideas: me.) The site provides an overview of the Canadian journalism scene, focused mostly on newspapers and magazines. (Well, I suppose it has to be focused mostly on newspapers and magazines since it is text after all and writing takes so long and is hard for attention spans used to TV.) A fine collection of links and resources as well as some suitably pointed (!) remarks aimed (!) at the generous posterior of Lord Black of Tub round out (!) this site. If you want to know more about your news from an insider's point of view, check it out.
And don't miss the book reviews, particularly the one on Kenneth Bradshear's High and Mighty: "I love it, it makes me feel powerful," says the 16-year-old driver of a jacked-up Suburban. "If someone disses me I can tailgate the crap out of them."
(A post in tribute to the hopelessly parenthetical.)
