IN THE NEWS
In the News is a new monthly e-feature connecting our titles to events happening around the world today.

5 Countries Agree to Talk Over the Arctic, which appeared in the New York Times on May 29, 2008, discusses how global warming is impacting the region. FROZEN LAND, part of our VANISHING CULTURES series by Jan Reynolds, gives a human face to the people living in the arctic circle and how their way of life is endangered by the changing environment.

Barack Obama essentially secured the Democratic nomination for president on June 3, 2008, a milestone in American history. The road to his nomination has revealed many issues left unaddressed in America, but also points to the progress made since the civil rights movement. JOHN LEWIS IN THE LEAD by Jim Haskins and Kathleen Benson, illustrated by Benny Andrews, brilliantly depicts the sacrifice, racism, and outright battles fought for racial equality and justice, long ago paving the way for an Obama nomination today.
