The Internet can be a very useful tool for gathering information about economics and current events. Here are some sites you might like to look at. Websites that originate in printed publications (newspapers, magazines) are sometimes less complete than their paper sources, but the web versions can be searched by keyword and often provide links to other sources.

The New York Times, www.nytimes.com    

The NYT website also has some very useful links pages:
