NEWSPAPERS
LOCAL
Madison has one daily newspaper, the Wisconsin State Journal, published every morning including Sunday. You can buy the newspaper at newsstands or drug stores, or you can arrange to have it delivered to your home by calling 252-6363.
Two free weekly local news publications are Isthmus, issued every Thursday, and The Cap Times, which comes out on Wednesdays. You can pick them up at numerous locations on campus and throughout the city.
The satirical weekly publication The Onion is also free. "News" and features are not to be taken seriously, but the listings of events are reliableNATIONAL
The New York Times is an excellent source of news from other countries and is available at newspaper sections of drug stores. You can also look at the news for free on the Internet at http://www.nytimes.com/.
INTERNATIONAL
If you'd like to check up on the news from home, the periodicals room on the second floor of the Memorial Library maintains an excellent and up to date collection of international newspapers and periodicals. You can also purchase international newspapers at bookstores in the State Street area. Most big international newspapers are available on the web, too.
