I’m writing to highlight two excellent articles published this month about the international television news network based in Qatar:

Why I Love Al Jazeera, by Robert D. Kaplan (The Atlantic)

The Hearst Awards for student journalists

Sunday, October 12, 2008

I can’t say whether that is an exaggeration, but the awards do come with generous money prizes for the individual students and the schools they attend. Journalism educators generally agree on the prestige of the Hearst awards.
I was looking at [...]
