Sources for Recent and Current Events

One regularly updated source containing a BBC news feed and short summaries of recent trends and events is the home page of the History of the Middle East Database (see links on left side bar).

A broader selection of news sources (where you will also find a BBC news feed) is at “Middle East News” (left Links bar). This page includes links to regional news sources in Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, and Urdu as well as English.

Articles that deal with broader trends are archived under “Supplemental Resources” at the Islamic Middle East course syllabus (left Links bar). You must be working through your Library’s licensed ProQuest database for the links to work. NMH students have direct access when working on the school’s “Virtual Desktop.”
