How does one keep up with the news? While I do include media references in many of my posts, I never intended for this blog to be a resource for all the latest news since there are so many other great reporting services available. I have listed a handful below, all of which provide global coverage.
News services:
All the major media outlets report on humanitarian and migration developments. However, some news agencies focus more exclusively on these issues, including:
- InterPress Service News Agency: Serves as a "communication channel that privileges the voices and the concerns of the poorest and creates a climate of understanding, accountability and participation around development, promoting a new international information order between the South and the North."
- The New Humanitarian (formerly IRIN): "An independent, non-profit newsroom reporting from the heart of conflicts, disasters and other crises."
News disseminators (listed by frequency):
- Twitter (now X): The perfect vehicle for very frequent news sharing! Follow Jeff Crisp for a steady stream of links to key news stories.
