News Media and Information
Washington's largest local news site is WashingtonPost.com, which debuted last week with thousands of pages of news from every state and more than 200 countries, along with interactive chat areas and searchable databases. A free service initially, the advertising-supported site has a section called Washington World devoted to life in the area. It features an electronic movie calendar, detailed crime reports, neighborhood profiles and regular stories about forthcoming community events in the District and 10 suburban counties.

Other local newspapers with regularly updated Web sites include the Washington Times, the suburban Journals and the Annapolis Capital. Defense-related news and databases can be found on Military City Online, the Web outpost for the Army Times Publishing Co.

Washington's ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS television affiliates all have Web sites, too. Among the most heavily used is WRC-TV's Washington Weather Report, which has a four-day forecast, radar maps of the region and audio clips from meteorologist Bob Ryan.

On the radio front, the fanciest page belongs to Oliver L. North, the talk-show host and former U.S. Senate candidate. Fans can e-mail questions to be answered on-air, view a multimedia presentation on North's life and connect to his favorite Web sites, including those run by the National Rifle Association and the Christian Coalition.

ONE is among the new breed of "e-zines" that appear exclusively on the Web. Targeted at younger African Americans, the flashy, District-based publication offers the works of black writers, thinkers and photographers and a forum for discussion of cultural issues.
