News Sites

Here are my favorite daily news sites.

1) Hypebeast
It covers mostly sneakers and clothes. Here you can see the latest in fashion design from all around the world. For example Bape, Nike, Adidas, Vans, BBC, Supra, Undercover, APC, Staple, and so on. They also tend to report on some contemporary artists like KR, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami Although I probably don't buy any of these goods, the pictures and the content are really interesting. The site is very simple, diverse, and exciting.

2) NY Times
The newspaper has been a favorite of mine since University. The writing tends to be a bit more quality and intelligent than the run of the mill local paper. I enjoy their special features, short videos, and their attempts at interactive graphs.

3) The Economist
A fantastic and well written magazine. The vocabulary is the best all around. Their insights include various opinions, which leave the reader to form their own. Their comment section is very easy to use and not hidden like on other sites. I also like their illustrations.

4) Arkitip
Great art magazine and website. Their intelligence section, as far I know, was one of the first to do an apartment style blog, which has various artists and designers. For example, Kevin Lyons, Damon Way, Jeff Staple, Pedro Winter, Undefeated, Evan Hecox, Ari Macropolis, and others. I also like that you can select a see all button which allows you to view all the writers posts in order of time posted. These guys are definitely on the ball as far as elevating the way we get information.

5) Venture Beat
A blog written by Dean Takahashi from the San Jose Mercury News, out of Silicon Valley. The news here is original, and quirky. There are great interviews with all kinds of fascinating people like venture capitalists, game developers, and engineers.

There are many others, but these are the ones I check the most. Do you have any recommendations?
