Environmental News Sources on WWW

In spring 1997, I listed 14 news sites. When I checked the sites a year later, more than one-half had disappeared. Conclusion? Don't count on anything. Try the sites on this updated source list.

• Environmental News Network. This site gets better and better. You can subscribe to a free daily news summary with hyperlinks to full stories. A subscription gives you the right to search the archives. This is a super resource. Highly recommended. (Web media)

• Excite. Search or create your own newspaper and train it to recognize your interests. Consistently good. Responsive and well designed although a bit cluttered until you figure out what you are doing. Trains quickly to your news interests. Highly recommended. (Media collection)

• Planet Ark news from Reuters wire service emphasizes international environmental news, especially SE Asia, Australia and Europe. Good broad coverage but articles are short. Readers can sign up for daily e-mail delivery of headlines. Highly recommended. (Media wire service)

• CNN World famous CNN offers a site of its environmental news, which tends to be about wildlife. Like Suite 101's editors, CNN offers readers additional links for more information on the topics it covers. CNN also provides great photos. Highly recommended. (News)

• Yahoo Environmental News Service. Highly diverse. More than you can ever read. Highly recommended. (Media collection)

• Earth and Sky, the award winning daily science radio series Earth & Sky is heard by millions of listeners on over 950 commercial and public stations and their translators throughout the United States. (Special Interest)

• Earth Times. On-line environment newspaper with sections on Africa, Asia, the Americas and Global Leaders. (Special Interest)

• Ecomall: a broad collection of non-media news sources. Worth some time browsing. (Special Interest)

• Envirobiz Newswire (PR Newswire, Bizwire) provides free access to environmental news of interest to the environmental professional. No fuzzy stuff here. (Special Interest)

• Envirolink News Service by the EnviroLink Network. Lots of news. Interesting site design using frames (2/10/98). (Web media)

• Infoseek. Browse pre-selected environmental topics, create your own newspaper or use the search engine. A lot of news from the Reuters wire service. (News collection)

• Los Angeles Times Environmental News (Media)
