"World" News

I was thinking of a social experiment, more or less, a look at social engineering.

I would like members from all around the world to post screen shots of headlines in their world news sections. for instance UK has BBC, US has NBC, CNN, etc and other countries have their equivalents.

Im curious to see how the news is massaged to fit political agendas and views.
i know there is a filter system somewhere in every nation, it would be a good collaborative project to see how new is spun all around the world.

Here's the BBC world news page from England.

Here's the SBS World section, from Australia

It might be faster to check for yourself. I'm not saying it to be rude, but that's pretty much what I do. Every country has media, and most of the major players have websites that you can search (and of course independent media thrives on the internet).

For example, google "France News" and you'll get big sites like "France24". Then check out the sections on the side of the page, like "Americas", "Middle East", and "Europe" to see the narratives they're pushing. You can do this for pretty much any country and get quick results. It also helps to check State media sites, since they typically give the official views from their respective governments.

There are other sites like AllAfrica.com which basically serve as portals, linking articles from various other websites. And then there are other sites like ATimes.com (Asia Times) and Al-Monitor.com, which feature a ton of articles and editorials from entire regions. I've been proudly checking out ATimes since the early 2000s ().

Hope this helps w/your quest.

I believe, what the OP is looking for, is what the "new" is showing you based on your location.

i.e. Someone looking at the BBC world news page in California will see different news than someone looking at the same page if they were located in the UK or even Pennsylvania.

I dunno. From the wording and the 1st 2 responses, it seems like it's asking for screenshots from the national news sites of each ATS member. Hence the SBS/Australia example from "kaelci" from Australia and the BBC/England example from the mod "Kandinsky" that I'm assuming is from England.

Going by the pattern, I guess I should've shown a pic from Fox News or MSNBC's "world" sections, but I rarely check their sites anymore. Ironically, I don't see a "World" section on MSNBC (here). The only subsection I saw with international stories was in the "National Security" section (here), though I admittedly only skimmed the site's sections.

Great idea fro a thread. I'm from UK and that has already been posted. The beauty about this thread is we can all comment on what we see in front of us at the same time, in the same place.

Keep them coming people, I think this thread could be very informative for many.

here is some of the tripe currently on MSN.
AP has a story on Roussef, brazilian president facing impeachment visiting the US, i wonder what the article reads like in brazilian media.


and this headline. is that what Gorbachev said or has it been flipped so the US readers read that and Russian readers have a slightly different story at home.

"The last Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on Thursday urged the West to stop isolating Russia and take a more "constructive" approach in response to President Vladimir Putin's moves towards normalising relations."
