Here's a link. The NAM ("Non-aligned Movement") want to set up their own news agency (the equivalent to Reuters etc) that will cover events from the third world's perspective in order to help counter "the dissemination of discriminatory and distorted information of events taking place in developing countries" by the Western media.

Is this a good thing? Is the western media biased? What's your opinion?

Um - all media is biased... it is a question of degree, severity and to whom it is biased towards.

It will be interesting to see how this organization deals with Burma and North Korea... two nations not exactly known for journalistic freedom...
