ABYZ News Links
An amazing collection of news organization web sites. Look at news from all around the world or local to yourself, whether you live in North America, Europe, Asia , or Africa. And all points in between. A huge collection of news sources online.

Ananova
Have you seen Ananova? This is the cyber-news anchor (no joke!) ... the perfect, futuristic news woman (with green hair) who may replace Dan Rather and Peter Jennings any day now! Is this the future of the nightly news? Now offering daily e-mail dispatches, and Quirky stories of the day.

BBC Online
From the UK's pre-eminent news broadcasting monolith, here's their online directory of how to best access breaking news and features on any of the BBC radio and television channels. [ News | World Service | Education ]

BBC World News America
This is a companion site, with video clips and special features, which reflects the broadcast edition oriented towards the American Public. It covers the world, like the UK original BeeB (the link above) but spends additional time with the terrific correspondents assigned to cover US political events and national news of import to Americans in particular. Check out both versions and you'll have an excellent feel for the European perspective on World Events as well as an objective (sometimes amused) look at American daily life and news. [2008]

The Chicago Sun-Times
Chicago is one of America's great cities, and they have a great newspaper, with this great site.

DailyNewspaper.co.uk
Here is a site said to be the U.K.'s "Number One Newspaper Portal". The page offers news headlines, a search engine, and links to several well-known newspapers, ranging from the Telegraph and Star, to the Irish Times, and the Times of London.

FactCheck.org
FactCheck.com does for political spin & hype what Urban Legends does for separating out rumor and myth from the statements of fact presented in mass email mailings. For those who suspect that politicians and pundits may be somewhat loose with The Truth at times, here's an independent source of fact-checking the content of speeches and commentary and illuminating what is real from what is propaganda, misinformation, distortion, or wishful thinking.

France24[New]
France24 offers in-depth coverage of breaking stories around the world, and like BBC and other European news organizations provides stories not necessarily covered as widely in the US media. A useful site, and companion to their television broadcast.

International Index of On-line Newspapers
Over 1400 Listings, from Australia's Web Wombat, "No.1 Search Engine Down Under". An excellent resource!
(Thanks to Ian)
