“Scroll”, originally reporting to the oil and gas business and founded in Canada eighteen years ago, has come up with a site that is useful to people who want to read today’s news from any country in the world. Links take them directly to the pages of selected national and international newspapers, and with business in mind, there are further links directly to official trade promotion sites.
To simplify readers’ choices, World Press Point excludes websites that require viewers to log in before they can read the news, making this site easy and pleasant to browse through. In cases where there is no English-language newspaper for a country, an English language news site is provided.
An increasing international interest in languages and current events worldwide was part of the reason why Scroll decided to invest in a website aimed at an audience that likes to be informed, whether for personal or business reasons.
From 1989 to 2001 when based mainly in Calgary, Alberta, and in Belize, “Scroll” reported on oil and gas exploration activities around the world to the major oil companies. During the years in Calgary, the editor, Richard Moir, also wrote a series of energy software articles which were published in Oilweek magazine. Scroll has emerged again as a collector of information, this time linking to selected newspaper sites worldwide. The new website is www.worldpresspoint.com.
