The NonProfit Times Online (www.nptimes.com) features the online version of a major news and information resources on the nonprofit sector.

Chronicle of Philanthropy (www.philanthropy.com) rightfully bills itself as the newspaper of the nonprofit world. It covers virtually all the issues (including the warts) of the philanthropic sector on a biweekly basis. We like the paper version, but the website is pretty impressive, with a searchable database available to print subscribers.
