We have tried to show that the US media often neglect to cover international news in a way most Americans find useful. We have also suggested that when they do cover other countries, they often focus only on certain types of events and fail to provide the kind of background information that most Americans say they need in order to understand them.

We've also shown you some ways to identify where particular news articles are published, so when you do search for news, you can get articles from different countries around the world.

In the next module, you will learn how to use the library and the Internet to find news on particular topics from sources beyond the US media.
