The Alternative Source of Information.

Hey,

The alternative source of Information.

Do you believe everything you read (Newspapers) or watch on the T.V (C.N.N, MSNBC,Etx) well think again, Newspapers tend to contain detailed information about local events but "slack" on contextual international events (E.x: what was or is happen in Iraq).

Now to get the right or more detailed information about what is happening outside of your country or city you can read newspapers all around the world. If you can read from different cities or countries you will be surprised from the newspaper you are reading now compared the newspaper to the country or city where the event is happening is much more detailed.

Hey, those are pretty good links. I am kinda wondering how many of these sources are censored. I heard some countries filter Google for instance. I could be wrong though.

Nice Job. I had been reading "The Sydney Morning Herald" for a few months and found that I enjoy news outside of the US also. The different points of view are interesting contrast.

Well Done d00dz

Doodz: But also don't get drawn into the feeling that just because it is news from the source country it is therefore the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth...... 'cos nothing would be further from the truth....... ;)

The media puts a spin on the news no matter what country its comming from. Just keep that in mind. Like if you were readding iraqy newspapers they would have a definate anti american spin on every story about americans. Just something to keep in mind as you read. Look at the economical and political structure of the area the paper is from. Then try to filter out the B.S.

well obviously american news is dsseminated information. but the sources you claim are no more "real" then another because of perspectival views. also there is the idea of misinformation. French news papers during the war reported mostly antiamerican sentiment because they disagreed with the war. journalists focus on the view point they agree with tends to be the case....

Very Good Post doodz~attackin great links. Tryin them out at the moment. Pm me the next time u com eout a new tut.

. Indeed many countries filter out google. Best bet is to stick to google.com, and also in your personalisation options, you can define something bout dicativating the filter. I will look it up for you and let you know.

doodz, well done, what happened to you? Im not used to these good posts from you :p

Well done, keep up this good work. I agree with what you said about truth and censorship. Its all very true indeed. Your links prove your point exactly.

Cheers.

great list. Here's one more often reported on country.

Isnt it strange that every country, even those in our Western "democratic" society, that enforce and ensure "Freedom of Speech" produces different news of the same event??
Makes you think....how much is really being held from us?

That's a good point.

It's also a big issue among individual reporters within the same country. Our press is a great example. Each of the major news networks gives sometimes conflicting reports on the same topic. Prime example of course being the (or any) war.

Unfortunately the content can only be as objective as the people reporting. Which is always 'ratings' and therefore public opinion driven.

Nice post.
For a global view of all newsmedia worldiwide, this link is very interesting too :
