Title: RE: [PEN-L:36160] al Jazeera link

sorry! This is a good source, but only has a link to al Jazeera, which is still down due to (presumable US-sponsored) hacker attacks.

if you can't get al Jazeera, try:

http://www.cursor.org/aljazeera.htm
<http://www.cursor.org/aljazeera.htm> 

this shows recent stuff from al Jazeera.

according to the web-site's sponsors:
Cursor, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity that educates the public
on the relationship between media and society through two free Web
sites, Cursor.org, and MediaTransparency.org. These sites are useful to
media practitioners, students, researchers, and the general public --
adding context to the mainstream media's output by illuminating the
structures and methods employed, as well as by providing an ongoing
library of links to the best media education, research and commentary
available on the Internet. We supplement this with our own original
research and commentary.

Cursor.org

Cursor combines original material with a daily-updated media and
politics Web log that comments upon and links to the work of major news
organizations, as well as to other critical, independent voices
published on the Internet -- contextualizing the day's news in a broader
fashion than what is available from the mainstream media. In addition,
Cursor contains links to hundreds of magazines, newspapers and stand
alone Web sites, with an emphasis on media criticism and media research.
Cursor also has a Twin Cities edition that has been published since 1997
and focuses on media activities in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

MediaTransparency.org

MediaTransparency.org is dedicated to news, opinion, analysis and
investigative data related to links between conservative philanthropies
and the organizations and people  which they fund, and their influence
in the media.

The heart of Media Transparency is its free, searchable database of
grants made by major conservative philanthropies since 1985. The
database presently contains over 21,000 grants totaling more than $1.25
billion, and is searchable by an array of criteria, including funder,
recipient, grant purpose, and date(s). Media Transparency is a
widely-cited and much used resource among the world's news media and
researchers at educational institutions.
