... that's my subject for my oral presentation for my final exams (I have to hold it next thursday). I'm having a bit of a difficult time finding the info I'm looking for, so I'd appreciate it if people here help me out.
Generally, interesting links would be good, and specifically I'm looking for a site where you can search through magazine archives by keyword and date, preferably reaching back a few years.
Thanks for your help,
Angie

The first is a scientific magazine, it talks a lot about Global Warming, what oil companies are doing, etc, just need to search for the right things and you'll probably find something useful.
The second is of course the BBC news site.

Does anybody know if there is an Asian news agency comparable to the BBC?
Thank you 🙂

But seriously, looking around on wikepedia it would be a good idea to recognise that this one is stated controlled, it reflects Chinese Government Policy (with regards to Taiwan for example).

It might not be exactly what you want, but here it is anyway.
Originally posted by angie88Bear in mind that the political persuasion of news sites influences their content. The BBC can overhype articles that don't have huge scientific credibility, but IMO are generally a good resource. Don't bother looking on Fox News 😉
