Tsunami warning on a sport news

Entertainment News

I forgot to upload this picture from 16th August 2007, when a massive earthquake hit Peru. I heard that it was such a huge quake and switched the TV on, but it was a "sport and entertainment news" which showed "Becks on the LA Galaxy". Still they have a tsunami warning on the right-hand corner of the screen. So this surreal picture is here… Becks and a map of Japan with yellow tsunami warning lines.

Using Two of the Features of Google: Google Maps and Google News

Both Google Maps and Google News are found at the top of the Google home. They are blue links.

Google Maps is the map search feature of Google. Usually, the Google Maps information is fairly accurate, but sometimes it presents inaccurate information. Since users can obtain textual directions and a road map, it is best to have both the textual directions and the road map. That way, if there is an error or something is unclear on one map, the other source can be used. It doesn’t usually hurt to consult the satellite map as well.

Users can add a map to their own site with Google Maps. It’s called the Map Content Partner Program. If interested in the Map Content Partner Program, consult the Google Maps site; certain terms and conditions apply. There is also a help forum for Google Maps.

Google News is a search index for news. Whether Google News is an improvement over the Orwellian days of broadcast and cable TV is debatable, but it seems to be, at least while there are other search engines that offer news features. The sea of blogs on the web offer a variety of opinion. Many facts not available in the mainstream press can be found in blogs or websites that are off the beaten path.

Some of the news services that are represented on Google News are BBC, Reuters, the Associated Press, Bloomberg, Fox News, CNN, and many newspapers such as the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Los Angeles Times. Google News returns results from more obscure news sources as well, such as the Chippewa Herald, Politico, the AFP, Aljazeera.net, and dBTechno.

Google News has Top Stories, World, U.S. and Business News, as well as Science/Technology News, Entertainment News, Sports News, Health News, Spotlight News, and “Most Popular” News.

For the Orwellian inclined, YouTube News has video news.

They're not scripted entertainment. Extra warning signs, higher railings and more rules for Mist Trail hikers would detract from the Yosemite experience for the 99.9% of visitors who heed the warnings. People go to national parks and forests to see and

Entertainment News question by Elizabeth: what are the major entertainment news or magazines out there?
I want to let people know about a petition I have set up related to a celebrity. What are the major entertainment news or magazines out there I can write to so I can get the word out? I need more signatures! I guess it doesn’t have to be entertainment but anything to get the word out and where people are more likely to know about it. I guess NBC, CBS would be the two places that aren’t all entertainment oriented but they’re good, I guess.
how do you contact any of those by email?
