Becoming a better journalist:
- Practice your world geography (Click the country to show the country name. It also has regions, states, provinces, etc)
- World Countries Game – Test your country facts (This game will ask you questions about countries and you can see if you know. Click the question to see the answer, and click it again for the next question)
- Flags Game – This may not be super useful for journalists, but we made it anyway
- Regions and Subregions Game – When you see a country name, can you identify which region or sub-region of the world it’s in?
- Time Zones Game – Good to practice your understanding of where countries are situated longitudinally
- World Leaders Game and the second World Leader’s Game (in reverse)
