Links and Resources
We've assembled a categorized list of links and online resources, usefully annotated, for the journalist or researcher. If you're looking for Internet sites on Media Ethics or Investigative Journalism, or a number of other topics, check this first before you plough through thousands of results from a search on Altavista. If you're doing research on the Internet, this is a valuable resource for media and public relations personnel. Embassy Row Embassy Row is your best source for information on foreign embassies in Canada, and Canadian embassies abroad. When you need quotes or information about a foreign country, or Canada's relations with a country, this frequently updated section will give the names and numbers, and the Internet site if available, of those to contact. Find them at www.sources.com/Links.htm.

Fame and Fortune
One of the most popular sections of SOURCES SELECTOnline, Fame and Fortune, is a complete listing of awards, fellowships and grants available to Canadian journalists and writers.
