LibGuides: Resources for Biology Current Events Summary: News & Internet Resources

The nightly news . . .

Not all broadcasts are the same.
Consider watching more than one broadcast to determine if the same story is being told via multiple outlets.
When possible, verify against a print resource.

All of these resources are very good--good enough to be used for a class project.
Do not base your entire research project on Internet resources.
When in doubt about a source, check with the librarian or your professor.
