E-VISION FROM THE ECONOMIST

"Global news on video" is what the intro says and that is what you get. The Economist offers revolving video reports, analysis and commentary for the global audience. Pick your topic: Latest Content, World, Business, Science & Technology, Art & Culture and Interviews. Then select your video player (Real Player or Windows Media Player required). E-Vision also offers hot links to The Economist Group of Web publications. E-Vision can be a powerful resource for the professional researcher. In line with its leading edge presentation, E-vision's URL ends in .tv, the fastest growing domain name end tag in Web history.

NEWSDIRECTORY

With an Internet launch in 1995, NewsDirectory was one of the first news providers to the online world. NewsDirectory houses hot links to newspapers, magazines, television stations, colleges, visitor bureaus, governmental agencies and other resources like Job Search sites, Association sites and government information. All told, there are more than 14,500 links.

It boasts over 3,600 newspapers, 4,800 magazines, hundreds of television stations, even comics (for that necessary, quick respite from a hard day of researching).

Scroll to the bottom of the page to the search dialog box for the Electric Library, another great news source.

What intrigues me is the teaser for upcoming changes to the NewsDirectory site. Keep your eyes on this long-standing and reliable prospect resource.
