MEDIA

Read the World – for FREE!!!


If you want to know what is really going on in the world and how others see events, not just what and how your local media ‘feed you’ with their local perspective and biases,
go to http://www.thepaperboy.com/ and scrolled through its numerous countries and over 6350 newspapers – all free on line.

Many are already available in English and if not, Google translator promises to do the hard work for you – but I have not yet got it to work.

So relax with the latest sports updates from Tonga, or cross-check your local media coverage of some key event.

For example, during the recent and controversial Israeli capture of the flotilla to Gaza, the Times of London had far more detailed information than Toronto newspapers and local TV the same day (including the fact that individuals on the boat that resisted had $1,000,000.00 in cash aboard as well as some small weapons, and The Guardian newspaper had live footage links – so you could see the military action from both sides: from one of the flotilla boats and Israeli camera footage from the helicopters overhead.
