Country: The UK

I would like to follow news from the UK:

I think the UK would be an interesting country to follow to see just what parallels there are between their culture and the U.S.'s. We seem to be similar in many ways, but are we? I think it would be good to find out how and what gets reported for their country. I also chose this because I felt that it would be possible to find a more diverse array of media coverage. Instead of having stories about war and government problems I believe I'll be able to find stories more off the beaten path. The story I have linked here for example. This is a story about a man on the lam who is possibly radioactive from medical treatments.
