[Imc] Fwd: [mc.org]Missionary news service, Media conferences exposed, Combating billboards, and more.

[Paul Riismandel]

MediaChannel is a nice source for articles and commentary, and can be a 
good way to get a digest of global stories--especially regarding 
media--that you would otherwise miss.  Might be a good source for headlines 
for the 'IMC Newshours.'
