More news links have been added to the site. One called "abyznewslinks.com" is an index of links to nearly every major newspaper and television news outlet in the entire world.
I started to compile a collection of general sources, but this one kicks butt. There are problems, however.
1. Most are main-stream news outlets.
2. Most of them are probably owned by the governments of the countries they cover.
3. Many of them could be operated by our government.
So one has to be very careful to check the framing of a story from more than one source. A good project for you students out there would be to compare international perspectives on a particular news event.
You can start by looking the news source that is the most distant from a major event, like the opposite side of the planet, and see if there is an article about an even here at home, then work your way around the globe to see other perspectives on the event.
