WWD has a great story on Al Jazeera English: Al Jazeera English: Fighting through stereotypes.
As Susan Watters wrote in the article, AJE is hard as heck to find anywhere. That’s why I absolutely love Zattoo. It offers AJE (as I wrote in my last post) and other channels you may be missing out on.
Over at my shop we’ve published our excellent (if I should say so myself) 2008 Prognosis, a 10-part series in which some of our most talented correspondents and academics give their views on what the coming year may bring for international relations and security. Areas covered include the Balkans, the Caucasus, Russia, Africa and Latin America. Also offered are analyses on prospects for the EU, the financial world and the energy sector.
Speaking of predictions, Navigation Arts has posted its 2008 Web Predictions.
Earlier this month fellow ONA member Tim Overdiek posted an entry on his blog listing his favorite non-US news sites. I tried getting in a plug for my shop, but he didn’t bite.:-)
In any case, here are some of the non-US sites I hit up when I can:
Cafebabel: Paris, France. Not a true news site, but it’s a Euro-based current affairs mag.
The Guardian: London, UK: Leans further to the left than Angela Davis at a Black Panther rally.
Al-Ahram: Cairo, Egypt. A weekly (hence, no breaking news) pub that provides in-depth news analyses of the Arab world.
Al Jazeera: Doha, Qatar. The website of the broadcaster. Tip…download Zattoo to watch AJ (and other channels) for free. Just sit through an ad at the beginning of the program.
Aftenposten: Oslo, Norway. I can’t remember how I happened upon this one. I think I was reading a story on an RSS feed about Martha and her angels.
The First Post: London, UK. Probably my favorite layout. Commentaries can be pretty biting.
Der Spiegel: Hamburg, Germany.
Haaretz: Tel Aviv, Israel.
Y-Net News: Tel Aviv, Israel.
Swissinfo: Bern, Switzerland.
All Africa: Johannesburg, South Africa; Dakar, Senegal; Lagos, Nigeria.
Japan Times: Tokyo, Japan.
From ETH Life: “ETH Zurich doctoral student Nils B. Weidmann has made workdays easier for conflict researchers: thanks to his new WarViews tool, military conflicts can be visualized via Google Earth with a few mouse clicks.”
