Electronic Source: The Tibetan Plateau Blog

In searching for good electronic sources, I found a great blog, The Tibetan Plateau, that keeps on recent news and events going on in Tibet.  From what I have gathered, it is a hub for all kinds of interesting topics that people can look further into with helpful links and videos.  I know that we often struggled to find sources to read in the prep class on current issues, and this looks like a great place to start.

So far, this source has taught me that the nomad culture of Tibet is vanishing, there are a lot of environmental issues going on with China wanting to mine, etc. that is being monitored by Google Earth, and some of the responses of India to Chinese particular Chinese officials.

More than anything, this blog is very informational.  The labels show that there are two authors posting, but no other links or labels are given.  There is, however, a search box, which is nice.  It has a lot of helpful links to other blog posts, news reports, and academic sources that give the reader the choice to follow up on.  There are 113 people following this blog, and it can be translated in 11 different languages.  While it is not posted on incredibly regularly, the posting is consistent.  There is a lot to be learned from this blog, and I am excited to be the 114th follower.
