Google News

Google News does a good job of aggregating local news (and relevant national and global news), but makes it very difficult to construct a search for news sources in English in other countries! But if you're willing to dig a bit, you will be able to find some useful information. (Hopefully.)

From the Google News homepage (linked above), try the following:

Click the "Settings" gear icon, then "Language & Region"
Type in your country, and even if it is just in the language of your country - which you may not speak! - click "Update"
In a separate window, figure out how to write your keyword in the language of your country; copy it and paste it into the seach box, then search
Google Translate should pop up and offer to translate the new Google Search page for you this will give you enough information to be able to figure out what you're looking at (i.e., which sites are news, which are newswires/aggregates, and which aren't relevant)
Choose a likely source and explore it - making use of the lateral reading strategies we discussed in class (see link to video at the bottom of this page)
