worldlink tv, via internet archive

Showing that I'm not _completely_ submerged in ephemera, here's a new, serious project that I think has been soundly overlooked. It's courtesy of San Francisco-based Worldlink TV and the place I sometimes volunteer/help at, the Internet Archive. [I have nothing to do with this particular effort, though, just dig it.] Basically, the two parties are teaming up to offer streaming daily news sourced from the TV stations of the Middle East. The show is called 'Mosaic', and it takes footage from national broadcasters in Jordan, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Syria, and more, creating a fascinating compilation of news as it's reported in those countries. With the 24-hour blipvert-styled coverage often perpetrated by the US networks, it's nice to see things from a different perspective - and please note, I'm not especially political or opinionated on matters like this, just interested to see how different cultures deal with what's going on in the world right now. Nuff said.
