Conquering the Age of Information

Student Website Recommendations By Luci Nicholson

Finding sources for the latest reports and opinion pieces can be hard in an era of scepticism surrounding media and an abundance of ‘Fake News’. If you’re looking for new websites to check out, here are some cool websites to get informed about the world around you today:

The Koori History Website

http://www.kooriweb.org/foley/indexb.html

The website is your go to for information on Black Australia's 240 year struggle for justice. It has incredible information on Australia’s past and is very relevant now, and shares an important side of history. 

The Guardian -

Australian and International News

https://www.theguardian.com/au

The Guardian is not only a great printed newspaper but it is also a great online site where you can get reliable news. It is reasonably neutral and has great international perspectives as well as interesting opinion pieces.

The Rosie Blog
