Some Reading sites to get you started.

Penguin Dossiers – Good for learners at a low intermediate level. Lots of articles to choose from, some with audio as well and all of them have a Factsheet (if you love doing exercises) – the answers are there at the end.

BBC Learning English – Plenty of intermediate material here. Check out the News English section which has simplified articles with explantions of key vocabulary – plus you can listen to the article.

Voice of America News (Special English) - The stories from this site are all current but have been simplified to and Intermediate level. (read explanation); most have audio which is slower than normal.

Breaking News English and Learning Resources (form Literacy.net.org) - Both of these sites offer news stories with audio and lots of exercises if that's what you like. I prefer the navigation of Learning Resources but one is more up-to-date. Intermediate and Higher.

Speak Up Magazine – Written for Brazilians, usually Intermediate and higher. Stories have introductions in Portuguese so you can decide if it is intersting to read. Key vocabulary is numbered – use the Babylon translator to look up words. Some articles also have audio.

Damn Interesting – I love this site. More challenging than the previous sites, but the stories are damn intersting! No audio. Upper Intermediate.

NPR (National Public Radio) – Lots of interesting things to listen to and read here. Some of the articles only have audio with a brief written introduction. Written for an American audience. Upper Intermediate.
