Hi everyone- I just spoke to Amy Moulton who handles my accountat Gale. I just starting receiving global issues in context and she assured me that it is a work in progress--that many newspapers have not as yet been included-French newspapers for example. They will be including the Jerusalem Post, Haaretz, and Arutz Sheva and are negotiating for the feed for broadcast news-- I think from the Israeli ministry. Amy says that they were being pressured to come out with the database so it is still in a somewhat unfinished state. The major problem is copyright negotiations--something Al Jazeera doesn't seem to care about--they just want their publicity out there. Let's hope that this gets cleared up quickly. I understand the concern--I told Marion and Amy that I'm not very happy about this situation--but I do trust Amy. She says that the person in charge of copyright negotiations for publications is an observant Jew. Bruchie Weinstein Magen David Yeshivah HS Brooklyn
