A Working Website - It Gathers News


This site uses Google robots to find news stories on a global basis that may be relevant to debates and debating in an educational and competitive sense. Some of the search terms may be a bit broad and some irrelevant stories slip through, but it is better to have a few irrelevant stories than to miss important ones. Articles can be found on the side of this blog about debate in general. These can be surveyed to get a sense of what is happening, but of course only a part of the story.

This website is part of a working family of debate websites. This one gathers news more than distributes it. The best stories are then picked for the Global Debate Blog and for other uses.

Here are some of the other debate websites that I manage. Please feel free to visit them.
