ONEWORLD

OneWorld International Foundation envisions "equitable and sustainable distribution of wealth amongst the world's population, underpinned by global attainment and protection of human rights and by governance structures which permit local communities control over their own affairs."

One of the wonderful resources it provides is a media gateway that serves to educate "a global audience about human rights and sustainable development."

OneWorld is a wonderful source of current world news on its primary topics. Take the time to dig into this fabulous resource that includes video, special reports, editorials, country guides and more.

REFDESK.COM NEWSPAPERS U.S. AND WORLDWIDE

For some, this will be a recap of a great resource. I believe the Internet Prospector reviewed RefDesk.com in 1998. I think it is about time to introduce the site to our colleagues who have ventured into our wonderful profession since that time.

Browse for newspapers by U.S. state, Top 10 U.S. Newspapers, Searchable Newspaper Archives, U.S. News Archives, World Newspapers organized by continent or region, National News Sites and Worldwide News Sites. Also, find a Google search link on the news page.

You may want to visit the RefDesk.com home page at http://www.refdesk.com/ for headlines, breaking news and more news search dialog boxes (like Yahoo!, Topix.net and Google). Also, find links to many of the sites mentioned above, along with news summaries, links to industry watches, headlines, photos and more and more and more.

Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Middle East news can be found right here at Worldpress.org.

Visit the site to discover more of its great services, such as Resources for Students and Educators which has links to NGOs from around the world and an International Media Guide.

Perhaps you are interested in a news story on the Ukraine. Click on the topic and find not only the story, but a link to a country profile, related articles and the latest news from the region. Worldpress.org is a great source of international news and information.
