Dear Colleague,

With WSIS and related issues in mind - you might like to take a look at
www.dailysummit.net.
This is a website focussing on key civil society issues.
We think it's the first bilingual journalistic blog.
It's in English and  Arabic run by young staffers from leading media
organizations including the BBC, Al-Jazeera TV, Al Ahram daily (Cairo),
The Times (London), the Tunisian National Press Agency,  .They come from
Egypt, England, Ireland, Lebanon, Nigeria, Qatar,  Syria and Tunisia

Right now  it's reporting on global civil society issues from the
Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting and People's Forum in Abuja,
Nigeria.

Then it will be switching focus to the United Nations Information Summit
in Geneva for reports, comment, counter-comment, and interviews with
major players.
This is a British Council initiative:
