E-Sources: Reference, Facts
Apr. 13th, 2005 11:28 pmA few sites that I find helpful in both day-to-day settings and when I'm in a pinch for some quick journalism fact checking:
1. European Union
Ever wonder about what countries are part of the EU? What are the five EU institutions? When is Europe Day? Answers to all these and (literally) tons of other relevant information about the European Union.
( About the EU Web site )
2. The Internet Broadway Database
Visiting New York City? Live there? Taking a day trip to the Big Apple from New Jersey? This comprehensive site is the place to check for Broadway shows, answering the who, what, where, when, and sometimes the why and the how, of each show—all a click of the mouse away.

3. The World Clock - Time Zones
Ever wonder what time is it in Norway (hi [Bad username or site: lynkemma / @ livejournal.com])? Portugal (hi [Bad username or site: sra_black / @ livejournal.com])? Japan (hi [Bad username or site: akaisakura / @ livejournal.com] and [Bad username or site: ee970 / @ livejournal.com])? Hong Kong (hi Dad and Kwok Ching if you're reading this)? Or even closer to home...California (hi Mom)? I certainly have! This is a great quick-ref site to make sure I didn't convert my times wrong in my head.
