| The BBC World News is an enormous collection of news stories from around the world. The reporting is less-than-biased with a uniquely imperial twist. Stories are enhanced by the BBC history site, adding a better understanding of news stories and current events for the reader. |
 |
| Reuters News Service is the stock supplier, along with Associate Press, for news stories to thousands of news services and newspapers. Based in the U.K., Reuters experiences less cultural infiltration than does the BBC. One of the most objective news sources out there, Reuters is a wonderful place to start research on any current event. |
 |
| Aljazeera is commonly accepted as the least anti-West news source in the Arab world. As the premier news source in the Middle East/Southwest Asia, Aljazeera occupies a unique spot with access to information and stories that Western news sources do not have. Though they are the least anti-Western news source from the area, students should be careful of interpreting and understanding bias in Aljazeera stories. |
 |
| The Moscow Times is Russia's ONLY English-language news service. This site offers a unique Russian perspective on world and local events. With that in mind, students should be VERY wary of a strong political bias in news stories at the Moscow Times. |
 |
| National Public Radio offers a relatively unbiased approach to local and global news. NPR has come under fire recently for being "too politically correct", so students should keep this in mind when reading stories here. Some stories may be so sanitized that they may lose their impact on the reader. |
 |
| The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation offers a level of journalism that rivals the best news sources. This is the North American alternative to US news sources. They cover local as well as international stories. |
 |
| Xinhua is one of China's only online English language news sources. It offers a uniquely Chinese perspective on many news stories. Be aware, though, that it is controlled by the government. Students should be very wary of bias. |
 |
| Japan Today is an open forum news service that allows readers to engage with each other on the events of the day. Students can take advantage of engaging in discussions with local Japanese people and benefit from their experiences and perspectives. |
 |
| This news source, from the Republic of South Africa, gives students the opportunity to read current events from one of the world's most fascinating and unique contemporary societies. |
 |
| Ms. Pojer's AP European History website offers countless notes, presentations, quizzes, and links that will help in your studies. Since much of our course is Euro-centric, the resources here are invaluable. Students should feel free to peruse the historyteacher.net website to study many other topics. |
 |
| The Fordham Internet Sourcebook Project is a wonderful collection of primary source documents on a variety of topics from many civilizations throughout all eras of human development. Not all documents are stored locally on the Fordham University website, so be aware that the links may take you to another site. Most documents include a citation, but make sure you are using Turabian/Chicago style when citing documents from the Sourcebook. |
 |
| The Catholic Encyclopedia is an enormous collection of information on almost any historical topic. This is the predecessor of Wikipedia, by 100 years. Students should be aware that the name is not deceiving, many entries, particularly those on Protestants and Muslims, have a very overt Catholic bias. |
 |
| All research done in this class is to be cited in Chicago/Turabian style. The Online Writing Lap at Purdue University offers a wonderful citation guide at your fingertips. Students should have this site up during every paper to ensure proper citation. |
