Each year, the editors and news directors of the Associated Press choose what they believe are the top ten news stories of the year. They chose the war in Iraq as the number one news story this year. Two thousand six was a difficult year in Iraq with increasing violence, clashes between religious groups and many civilian deaths. Thousands of Iraqis have been killed. Almost three thousand members of the American military have been killed since the war began in two thousand three. Many Americans voted to express their unhappiness with the situation in Iraq. As a result, Nancy Pelosi of California will become the first woman to serve as speaker of the House. These were the other top stories of the year.

Статьи очень живые, интересные и тематики разнообразные — от высокого искусства до советов о личной жизни. Специально для любителей языков созданы разделы Languages и English and creative writing. Стиль изложения бывает сложным, особенно если речь о колонках, но в обычных информационных статьях — довольно понятный язык, хотя и более сложный, чем в BBC или таблоидах. Есть платная подписка, но даже того объема, который доступен бесплатно, вполне достаточно для того, чтобы быть в курсе событий. Можно установить бесплатное приложение с приятным дополнением в виде еженедельной подборки увлекательных лонгридов. Основной контент — о том, что происходит в Великобритании, но также есть отделы международных новостей. Для доступа к статьям The Telegraph необходимо зарегистрироваться, но можно это сделать через соцсети. The Independent отличает легкий стиль изложения, увлекательный раздел LifeStyle и все материалы доступны бесплатно и без регистрации. Минус — статьи ориентированы на читателей, живущих в Великобритании. Обе газеты предлагают приложения, а The Independent даже два — ежедневное и еженедельное. The Daily Mail Популярные британские таблоиды еще называют чтивом домохозяек. Слоган одного из них — News, sport, celebrities and gossip — точно отражает суть таких газет. Не стоит искать там серьезных новостей, аналитики и статей об искусстве. Что там есть, так это легкий и живой язык с многочисленными фразеологизмами и даже сленгом, подробности скандалов из мира политики и шоу-бизнеса, слухи из жизни британской королевской семьи. Минусы — всплывающие периодически шокирующие снимки жертв преступлений, жутких болячек или людей-мутантов из индийских деревень. Плюсы — понятное изложение и полностью бесплатный контент, включая приложения. Есть даже раздел о России. Все статьи — довольно объемные и перенасыщены фотографиями, видео и виджетами соцсетей, но каждую предваряет анонс из списка коротких и понятных фраз, описывающих суть и самые эффектные факты материала. Euronews О событиях в странах Евросоюза можно почитать на сайте телеканала Euronews. Статьи и видеосюжеты рассортированы по традиционным новостным разделам Europe, World, Business, Sport, Culture. Под видеосюжетами есть расшифровки.

Perennial Opening Day race winner Loveland Ski Area could only sit idly by on the morning of October 12, as friendly competitor Arapahoe Basin turned its lifts a full nine days earlier than it ever had. It perhaps was appropriate this year, as The Legend celebrates its 60th year of operation this season. Well, in the case of Copper Mountain resident Rainer Hertrich — the only human in recorded history to complete such a streak — he found a five-dollar bill. On the county and municipal level, programs were established to enable fire mitigation and fire prevention planning. Homeowners worked to clear dead and dying trees from their properties, and a widespread Community Wildfire Protection Plan took hold across the county. But the more we know about the pine beetle epidemic, the more nuance it seems is needed in the debate. While beetle-killed trees grow in numbers, a new argument about a consequent rise in fire danger arose.
Water, or lack thereof, was less of an issue this year, as the hydrological year between 2005 and 2006 was one of the wettest on record. And on June 5, Dillon Reservoir filled to capacity, and excess water spilled through the glory hole for the second year in a row. In other environmental news this year, a surge of run-off from an abandoned mine above Breckenridge threatened a number of species in April. The result of the mine run-off: the Blue River flowed a deep orange color right through downtown Breckenridge, though no long-term impacts to the ecosystems there could be reported. Finally, boosted water flows in the same Blue River were the goal of the Breckenridge Sanitation District with their proposed Blue River Pumpback Project — where a series of pipes and pumps would recirculate water flows normally lost to Dillon Reservoir back into the river further upstream. The year was marked with much progress on the project; funding was secured and scheduling and planning begun.

У англоязычного российского телеканала получилось самое трудное - стать своим среди чужих. Маргарита Симоньян: "Недавно пришло письмо - мы очень порадовались… от помощников арабского шейха..
