On the BBC News website, there is a section called country profiles. This is a very handy website. Not only does it provide you with a brief overview of a country, it also provides a list of websites and media resources from that country. It gives the basic facts of the country and a summary of the leaders of that country, but it also talks about the media and how it is controlled in that country.
