We will continue today to "flesh-out" the links that you have available when you access this blog. We will concentrate now on the publication considered "the newspaper of record" in the USA. "I read it in the Times" is usually a statement that confirms the reliability and validity of the information in question. Even persons that may question the Times' editorial positions will normally read the news content of the newspaper and rely on it.
The blog gives you access to the Global Edition of the Times, which focuses on international and global affairs. This e-edition also incorporates the professional input of The Times' European sister paper, The International Herald Tribune. Together, they provide an unsurpassed view to news, analysis and opinion from an American/Western perspective.
When you click the Times link, you will be taken to the Times homepage, which is set-up like an "e-newspaper." The major pictures of the day are front-and-center; you can click below the picture shown, to see the rest of the pictures available.
AT THE VERY TOP OF THE PAGE you have links to "Video," "Most Popular" and "Most Recent" news, among others.
ON THE EXTREME LEFT MARGIN you have geographical and subject links to the content, including (in the lower half) links to blogs and the "Week in Review," a great resource for those readers who cannot keep-up with events on a daily basis!
BELOW THE PICTURES, in the center of the homepage, you find summaries of the day's main story and other important stories, as well as another geographical index to take you to the part of the world that interests you. You will notice that you can click on "Post a Comment" below some of the stories and express your own opinion or questions. You should take advantage of this feature! Share your thoughts with the best educated audience in the west!
ON THE RIGHT OF THE PAGE, AT THE TOP, you find "Global Spotlight," which will normally cover a subject in some depth. Also on the right are the day's main business and stock market news.
HALF WAY DOWN THE PAGE you will find a video story and below this, "On The Blogs." You may find a favorite blogger that you would like to follow!
FURTHER DOWN you find (ON THE LEFT AND CENTER COLUMNS) subject links to thorough coverage of the World, U.S. Politics, Opinion, Movies and "Week in Review" among others, and (ON THE RIGHT) links to the "Most Popular" stories of the day.
At the BOTTOM-RIGHT of the page you will find "Recent Blog Posts."
Well, there you have it: your e-guide to the "newspaper of record" in the USA. Use it well and you will be on your way to mastering what Hanvey called "State of the World Awareness," and "Knowledge of Global Dynamics"!
In our next blog we will review a very exciting link, -- WorldPress.org -- that puts the world's media at your fingertips! Dozens of the world's best media outlets within a click of your keyboard!
Until then. Keep blogging....
