DocuTicker
When  Sen. Kerry referred to the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, during a recent presidential debate, many viewers were likely expecting elucidation on the topic. Instead, the talk shifted to the familiar issues of Iraq, North Korea, and WMDs. To many that moment reflected mainstream media's obsession with marquee news stories. DocuTicker is about issues that interest us all yet slip under the TV radar -- Darfur, women's rights and the High Court, even Congress' travel habits. Because this information is compiled by librarians who cull documents from government agencies, think tanks, and the like, the paper trail is immense and varied. The resulting unique news lineup covers everything from tax cut rhetoric, to why men murder women, to the true state of U.S. prisons. (in Reference) |
