BBC Again

For online news lately, I've been going abroad to the BBC. They have phenomenal web content. On top of their podcasts, video and online journalism, they have Learning English. This section is for people who are trying to improve their English. They provide simplistic news and then definitions to difficult words. I thought how popular this would be for a paper in the United States or for a Spanish one to do "Learning Spanish."

I find it to be a weird idea, but in a time like this papers are always trying new things, so why not?

I don't think it's weird at all. It would be nice to have videos where people can learn other languages. I personally like getting my news at BBC~~

Prof. Pat Thomas is hosting the Ethnic Media Family Weekend next week, you may want to try and talk your way into some of the sessions.

"Ethnic media" are a fast growing area and one way of getting information out to protected or under-served communities.
