Tripod comes off like a wacky little community with a conscience, engaging with all sorts of issues in a fairly savvy kind of way. It's quite difficult to get a grip on its agenda, though as a guide it's based at the University of Tennessee. Some of the writing is quite condescending in a 'it's-for-your-own-benefit' sort of way. Currently it's preoccupied with the American primaries and there's some discussion about Northern Ireland and the IRA but, overall, content is broad-based, quite newsy and continually updated. Other areas cover work and money, lifestyle and travel, so on balance it probably works for students sort of worthy but informed. Tripod should also be applauded for its design and the strength of its supporting links. A good example for student journos to follow.
