[LM_NET] Addendum to Hit: Journalism Resources

["Wee, David" <dwee@HW.COM>]

Sorry, I missed your original post.  You might want to have your teacher
and/or students look at http://tenbyten.org/10x10.html

It is an ever changing site highlighting the top 100 news stories in the
world at the moment.  As you mouse over (the pictures repeat themselves,
not necessarily the stories) the list on the right bulges to give you a
one word description.  Click on a image and a window opens with 3-5
links to news stories -- almost all from very reputable news services
and newspapers.
