Welcome Time Readers and Other New Friends

Since we always love to meet new readers, we were happy to learn that Time had picked The Morning News as one of this year’s coolest web sites, and we thought a short guide to the magazine might help newcomers find their way around.

TMN publishes a new feature (in the home page’s center column) and a new batch of headlines (in the home page’s right column) every weekday morning. In addition (in the center of the home page), on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays you’ll get an update to our Digest section—a round-up of the week’s best books, mp3s, and web videos, respectively. Time mentioned that you should check out our Spoofs & Satire archive, but we’d also recommend looking through our Personal Essays or Op-Eds, or some of our more beloved series like Robert Birnbaum’s conversations with contemporary authors, The Non-Expert’s advice column, or even our new set of articles, “A Walk in the Park,” profiling the best of the world’s public parks. Our aim here at TMN is to publish an eclectic mix of the web’s smartest and funniest stories, so perhaps you’d like Clay Risen’s recent survey of the 10 best-named weathermen, or a gallery of Korean photographer Atta Kim’s latest work, or Lockie Hunter’s remembrance of her grandmother’s fear of ceiling fans.

(There’s also Matthew Baldwin’s and Goopymart’s recent storybook “Files Are Not For Sharing,” in case your kids are reading.)

Click here if you’d like to learn a little more about the history of the magazine and here if youd’d like to contact us..

Whatever you choose to read, we hope you come back tomorrow and read some more. Thanks!
