CBCNews World in Conflict
www.cbc.ca/news/interactives/gmaps/world-conflicts
A news map for a big-picture view of persistent global conflicts.

Global Incident Map
www.globalincidentmap.com
News map focusing on terrorist events. Flickering icons depict the locations of bomb blasts and scares, parliamentary or office evacuations, white-powder-in-the-mail, etc., over time periods of your choosing. A scroller includes current headlines.

Maplandia News Centre
www.maplandia.com/news
Provides functionality not seen in other news mappers, like allowing users to link to countries from article headlines (instead of forcing you to drill down from the country level), and providing visual cues to support regional navigation. But the site aggregates only a few headlines per region.

Mibazaar World News
www.mibazaar.com/worldnews
Plots recent New York Times articles on a world map, all right, but there is no categorization by topic (such as business or politics). You can link from the headlines directly to the stories.

MediaScrape
www.mediascrape.com/News/Home.aspx
News map that organizes video clips by region and country. If you register for free, you can choose to filter out certain types of news clips, though the customization is not specific enough (one of the eight news categories is “Business & Tech”).

Multi News Map
http://muti.co.za/static/newsmap.html
Presents regional maps, and produces a set of headlines for any country or region you select. Unlike the WorldNews map, you never navigate away from the map pane, so navigating among countries is easier.

WorldNews Interactive Map
http://wnmap.com
Offers links to country-specific news sources that you select from a map of the world. It has one of the cleanest interfaces, but you can’t scan headlines country-by-country — you must drill down first to specific locales and then to individual sources.
