This database fills the need for students and educators of current events classes to find information that explains the significance and impact of those events on society/communities. Articles are written on a mature level suitable for upper level high school/lower level undergraduate students. I do not see that it competes with Opposing Viewpoints, if anything it complements it.
Was a great site.'Anonymous' said it all.
