Links for class presentation

http://iraq.reuters.com/ This is the link about the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War from the perspective of those reporting on it. This is a really interesting view of the reports coming from over there with some good video to go along with it.

http://abcnews.go.com/abcnewsnow This is the online video section of ABC news. My major issue with this site is the abundance of entertainment news. It almost seems like this would be more fitting on the ABC network site instead. The really interesting concept is the i-Caught section with the Talk Back function. This is one of the few times I've seen an opportunity to respond to broadcast news and really put a face to your comment. This allows the network to see the real people who are watching their news and see what they think about it. This segment has a bit of the same problem as NewsNow with a bit too much sappy fluff, but still a great idea.
