World News and Opinion

Go to the WACHHI's Pagecast

In keeping with our mission, to empower citizens to participate in the national debate on world affairs, we are offering a link to important national and foreign press sites and to various "think tanks" focused on global political issues. These sites were chosen by the WACHH Directors, and may be easily modified to include sites recommended by our Members.

Currently we collect "live" news feeds from the following English-language newspapers:

The New York Times		Europe	Middle East	Asia
International Herald Tribune		Europe		Asia-Pacific
London Times		Europe
Beirut Daily Star			Middle East
The Jerusalem Post			Middle East
Haaretz			Middle East
The Wall Street Journal	US	Europe		Asia
Financial Times	US	Europe	Middle East	Asia

Newsletters are retrieved from "Foreign Policy in Focus", and the "Open Democracy News Analysis".

The Technology

Many news-related websites publish  their content as an RSS Feed (Really Simple Syndication) and broadcast this feed to their readers. There are at least two advantages of this process: 1) the broadcast can occur at any time new information is available and 2) it is not necessary for the reader to visit the website to acquire the information.

We are using an RSS aggregator, Pageflakes, to capture these news feeds and have created a unique "Pagecast" for WACHH members' use.
