I've come across an interesting news site Link TV that broadcasts programs that engage, educate and activate viewers to become involved in the world. Link TV mission is about giving people broader perspective on news and covering topics that aren't available in the US media. Lots of interesting news and topics covered. It is really worth exploring.
It is a good example of online taking role of educating people. I had an interesting discussion today about media literacy among youth today. The conclusion was that youth today lack tools for filtering and coping with the information overload. I've observed the tendency for taking the first information available for granted, they express rarely any criticism toward what they find on Google or watch in TV. There is definitely the need for this type of initiatives that have educational aspect and show diversity.
