National Geographic is setting a precedent for the quick turn- around of its special Hurricane Katrina edition, published at the most accelerated pace in the magazine's 117-year-old history. Thanks to an exclusive media partnership with news outlets - the Times-Picayune of New Orleans, the Dallas Morning News, the Austin American-Statesman, the New York Times, Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, Reuters news agency, Getty Images and Knight Ridder - the magazine has produced a singularly insightful story with spectacular photographs.
The French government and international news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) have teamed up to spearhead a consortium of digital media content producers and publishers aiming to find a high-quality semantic search strategy for AFP's Arabic-language news, audio, and video multimedia content, a solution that creators hope could serve as a model platform for Arabic news organizations around the globe.

The 2007 climate report to the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) fails to account for the role sediment plays in mitigating rising sea levels.
