Many of the organisations listed are African. Each entry provides a direct link to the listed site. Infoseek's powerful search engine makes this a good place search the Northern-based news organisations, newspapers and wire services it has access to.
Searches are via specific questions, phrases or names.
News Center is also a useful source of links to the organisations mentioned in News Wires and Premier News. Once this personalised service has been chosen, it is also possible to use Back Web, which downloads information from the News Center while the user is browsing elsewhere in the Web, making time on-line more efficient. This is a plug-in service that needs Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 3.11 to run. A more detailed description is available from the Back Web page.
