Because there is a remarkably good fit between the autistic mind and the digital age. For this new generation of children with autism, I anticipate that many of them will find ways to blossom, using their skills with digital technology to find employment, to find friends, and in some cases to innovate.

2006 Year in review
Almost three thousand members of the American military have been killed since the war began in two thousand three. Many Americans voted to express their unhappiness with the situation in Iraq.

With an unprecedentedly mobile world population, writers are everywhere on the frontline of cultural exchange, putting into words the experiences of millions whose own identities are contested and denied. Yet writers themselves hate to be categorised: there is something about being a writer that is all about putting your roots in the air. Stories, on the other hand, grow downwards, seeking the cultural nutrients in the soil. When David Edgar, chairing a session on theatre and censorship, asked the Northern Irish playwright Gary Mitchell whether he spoke for the Protestant community in North Belfast, Mitchell replied pugnaciously that he spoke only for himself. Mitchell knows all too well what it means to be accused of representing a community. He calmly described the intimidation that he and his family have received at the hands of loyalist paramilitaries who object to his portrayals of their culture.
Из сегодняшнего выпуска новостей зарубежные телезрители могли узнать о переговорах между Газпромом и Минском о цене на газ, о том, погода в декабре выдалась необычно теплой и как москвичи собираются встречать Новый год.

Russia today - это пристальный взгляд на развитие современной России, в которой успехи чередуются с проблемами. Играть на одном информационном поле с такими признанными лидерами, как CNN и BBC - задача трудная, но, как оказалось, выполнимая. У англоязычного российского телеканала получилось самое трудное - стать своим среди чужих. Маргарита Симоньян: "Недавно пришло письмо - мы очень порадовались… от помощников арабского шейха.. Мы конечно все сделали... Все ему записали и отправили... О России, признается, имел весьма смутное представление. Вслед за ним, теперь нашу страну открывают для себя и зарубежные телезрители.

Новости структурированы, написаны в строгом информационном стиле. Для изучающих язык такая подача помогает понять суть события и без словаря, а также изучить массу полезных выражений. Минус — несколько сухой стиль изложения, деловая направленность. Часть контента они выкладывают на сайт, остальное доступно по подписке. Газета британская, но достаточно широко освещает международную тематику, есть специальный раздел о США. Статьи очень живые, интересные и тематики разнообразные — от высокого искусства до советов о личной жизни. Специально для любителей языков созданы разделы Languages и English and creative writing.
Стиль изложения бывает сложным, особенно если речь о колонках, но в обычных информационных статьях — довольно понятный язык, хотя и более сложный, чем в BBC или таблоидах. Есть платная подписка, но даже того объема, который доступен бесплатно, вполне достаточно для того, чтобы быть в курсе событий. Можно установить бесплатное приложение с приятным дополнением в виде еженедельной подборки увлекательных лонгридов. Основной контент — о том, что происходит в Великобритании, но также есть отделы международных новостей. Для доступа к статьям The Telegraph необходимо зарегистрироваться, но можно это сделать через соцсети. The Independent отличает легкий стиль изложения, увлекательный раздел LifeStyle и все материалы доступны бесплатно и без регистрации. Минус — статьи ориентированы на читателей, живущих в Великобритании. Обе газеты предлагают приложения, а The Independent даже два — ежедневное и еженедельное.
The Daily Mail Популярные британские таблоиды еще называют чтивом домохозяек. Слоган одного из них — News, sport, celebrities and gossip — точно отражает суть таких газет. Не стоит искать там серьезных новостей, аналитики и статей об искусстве. Что там есть, так это легкий и живой язык с многочисленными фразеологизмами и даже сленгом, подробности скандалов из мира политики и шоу-бизнеса, слухи из жизни британской королевской семьи. Минусы — всплывающие периодически шокирующие снимки жертв преступлений, жутких болячек или людей-мутантов из индийских деревень. Плюсы — понятное изложение и полностью бесплатный контент, включая приложения.
