News Links

As you know, World Affairs is a current events course.  There will be news stories that you will need to look for.  The following links are good places to begin a search for a specific news event.

The advantage of Yahoo News is up-to-the-minute reporting.  The site will tell you when the story was posted.  From here there are links to other news sites and to news sub-categories, like sports news and financial news.  Full coverage topics will give you a series of different articles about a particular topic.  Yahoo News also features photo slideshows of current events.

Google News has a similar format to Yahoo News.  Stories are dated and timed to tell you when the story was posted.  News subtopics are organized in a list, so it's easier to find sports news or world news than on Yahoo.

CNN is another good news source, with many free video clips of events.

BBC News is from the British Broadcasting Company.  It gives you the European perspective on current world issues in English.  Click on the links on the left to read top headlines of different world regions.

Current government news is available from the White House and from the Federal News Service.  Both of these sites offer transcripts of official federal news releases.

Statewide news is available at the Ohio News Network.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science publishes Science Magazine.  They also publish EurekAlert, which includes medical research and science information designed for students.

Science News is the companion website to the weekly magazine, Science News.

Science@NASA is written for students and families.  It discusses space news, earth science, physical science and biology.
