About WLN
World Labour News is a current awareness service providing up-to-the-minute headlines with corresponding full text of news articles focused on labour issues particularly relevant to the work of the ILO. Some 17,500 news websites located in countries throughout the globe are scanned every five minutes for labour subjects based on specific terms in English, French and Spanish found in the Keyword List. Because most of these news sources are electronic versions of indigenous newspapers or other local news services, WLN offers the advantage of breaking news articles on labour developments often not covered in the international media, presented from a local perspective. International coverage is also included.
This service was created in response to expressed needs for more precise labour-related information that is very recent. Convenience of access is essential. Articles are grouped by age time spans, most recent ones only minutes or hours old, with maximum news coverage of 30 days. Earlier/Later buttons are used for scrolling through the dates while a drop down box provides access by exact day or week. A search box for searching on any word appearing in an article headline is also available.
WLN is a flexible news service allowing for changes in labour terminology when they occur. New sources of news are also added to the service upon discovery.
