Joint AP, Yahoo News poll
The Associated Press and Yahoo! News teamed up to poll Americans about the upcoming presidential election. A survey of more than 2,000 people found that Democrats and Republicans alike have strong opinions about who has the best chance of capturing the presidency in 2008 -- Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani, that is -- but those aren't necessarily the candidates they find most likable.

Be a journalist for Halloween
This week's horoscopes tell Virgos that they should be journalists for Halloween (or spies, muckrakers, whistleblowers).
Scary!

British newspaper launches site aimed at America
The Guardian has launched Guardian America, a new site aimed at Americans.
Editor Michael Tomasky explains:
The journalistic shorthand version is that Guardian America is the US-based website of the Guardian newspaper of London and Manchester, which will combine content produced in the UK and around the world with content that we originate here to create a Guardian especially tailored to American readers....Guardian America will, yes, promote the liberal interest. Not with a sledgehammer; one of the most important liberal interests, after all, is in free inquiry, debate, scepticism, even about one's own positions. But I suspect that, among the Americans who like the Guardian, one of the things they like is that the paper expresses its view of the world a bit more openly than American newspapers do.
This will mean looking at the events of the day from a slightly different angle than US papers, and focusing in on some matters that they might ignore, as I have in my interview with Hillary Clinton. It will not mean, of course, that our standards of accuracy and fairness and fealty to fact will be anything but the highest....
Many Americans, about five million a month (forgive me slipping into argot here, but more properly than "people", they're "unique users"), already do read the Guardian through its website - as well as the thousands who subscribe to the Guardian Weekly - for its excellent US and international coverage. We hope we're giving them more reasons still to read it.
