Monitoring the news
via Google Alerts - scours the web but does not always catch certain news on the subject so still need to go to individual news sites with the search term targeted at Yemen. More importantly, always ask who owns a news group, agency or media network - many claim to be independent but each has its own agenda to their news coverage.
The big news agencies
Associated Press (AP) - New York-based news cooperative described as "independent" and "not-for-profit". Founded in 1846 and has earned more than 50 Pulitzer prizes so we can say it has earned a level of trust from its readers.

Understanding Yemen through literature, film, and other arts
I decided to write down my notes on things related to Yemen that I read in books and articles or see in films and other media. See VisVid.
The American Institute for Yemeni Studies (AIYS) offers many resources for studying Yemen's history and arts.
