| 646683 | 2008-03-05 21:38:00 | The news, I regularly see stories and am interested in them and how they will turn out, however there is very often no follow up, I realise that follow ups aren't always front page news material, but surely they must be somewhere as an example The Steve Fossett disappearance, Ok they never found him or his plane, however they did find a number of previously undiscovered wrecks, whatever happened with those, did they discover who's planes they were and give closure to families etc example number 2 This is from the Beeb (normally they are good at following up) Submerged city discovered off India (news.bbc.co.uk), and thats about all i've found on the subject It frustrates me as i am a news junky, i love learning new things and theories etc but i also like to know what the outcomes of some of these stories are |

Apart from intense googleing, there doesn't seem to be a lot else we can do. It's gonna be hard to change the way the media present their news. |

| 646686 | 2008-03-05 22:27:00 | Have had some sucess by typing in country name concerned & newspapers. For newspaper example = www.india-atlantis.org/pages/news.html Could be a help. Cheers. |

Thanks Bob, the problem with that new story is that i can't find anything dated after 2002, however there is a link to Graham hancocks website on the site you metioned and well that site looks like it will feed me news/science addictioon for a while, i'll have to have a better look later |

| 646688 | 2008-03-05 23:24:00 | You'd probably have more results by google'ing for something like : "submerged ruins off the south east coast of India" (www.google.co.nz of+India.&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a) which brings back a number of results - the one I checked out (dancingfromgenesis.wordpress.com) had a few more recent reports about it, and about the fact there is so little follow up info! But there seems to be quite a few "leads" you could follow through that :) |

| 646689 | 2008-03-05 23:58:00 | Thanks Bob, the problem with that new story is that i can't find anything dated after 2002, Google "Mahabalipuram" there was a more recent dive expedition after the 2004 tsunami shifted a lot of sand. Submerged ruins sounds dramatic but 700m off shore the water is still only 5-7m deep. |

| 646690 | 2008-03-06 03:31:00 | I agree. The mainstream tv and newspapers do very little follow up journalism. I tired writing to the editor of the Sunday Star about their standard of headlines not being correct and he wrote back in an arrogant tone. Regards Digby |
