Navigating the media landscape, part two

Over on Facebook, a friend asked in response to the previous post: "where's your list [of interesting opinion writers]?"

Some of the essential ones I mention here often:

• Charles Blow at the NYT;

• Josh Marshall at TPM when he's wearing his historian hat;

• Ed Kilgore on U.S. politics, especially the view from the U.S. South and religiosity ;

• Paul Waldman at The Week; also at the Washington Post but they paywall.

And here are some that may be a little less obvious:

• David Niewert, spyhopping the Right;

• J.J. Goldberg at the Jewish Daily Forward;

• Echidne of the Snakes because 51 percent of us are women;

• Jamelle Bouie on politics and especially on correcting the history;

• Felix Salmon who used to report on business and finance for Reuters and now writes on what interests him at Fusion;

• the Rev. Canon Giles Fraser at the Guardian;

• David Roberts, on climate, formerly of Grist, now on Vox;

• Sarah Posner, on politics and religion.

Understand, I don't necessarily agree with these people, but I find I can learn from them. The list strikes me as particularly weak on women. I imagine this is at least in part because women opinion writers still don't have equal access to gigs that pay them to write regularly.

 I could go on with about 15 more, but I'm camped in an airport, preparing to board ... Enough for now. Who do readers look to for informative opinion?  

UPDATE: In honor of Giving Tuesday, may I suggest working on the paucity of women's voices by supporting Echoing Ida? I did.
