While I'm linking away here, here's a more exotic site: Perlentaucher means "pearl diver" in German. It's like artsjournal, in that it offers daily links to important stories in the German and German-Swiss press (not Austrian, for some reason). German online editions contain fewer links than the English-language ones, and Perlentaucher has had to extricate itself from various legal challenges, so often stories are alluded to without links. But it's still pretty good, and offers insights into European events beyond Germany -- IF you read German. That's true for the daily "Heute in den Feuilletons." However, on Tuesdays they run a "Magazinrundschau," and that has links to weekly magazines from all over Europe and the U.S. (New Yorker, NY Times Magazine), so you can get stories from not only Germany but from France in French, England and the U.S. in English, and all over Eastern Europe. There's also a lot of other stuff about books, film, etc. Check it out.
