The Gulf of Mexico oil spill, explained by Al-Jazeera

Perhaps Western news organizations have produced their own video infographics, but Al-Jazeera’s was the first that I saw.

I’m glad to see an English Al-Jazeera, by the way, because I think it’s important to encourage a diversity of voices in the media. From what I’ve read, it was originally staffed with journalists pinched from the BBC, and I believe that news culture still exists.

Which, I suppose, is more than you can say for Fox.

  1. Al Jazeera English is a great source of world news. It’s run by a former CBC honcho, and less polluted by politics than anything coming from south of the border.

  2. This oil disaster is one of the biggest problems which has ever been. I hope with the help of BP the most damage can be stopped.
