GLACIAL MELT IN TIBET AT UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS Massive glacial melt in Tibet is causing widespread desertification, as region loses water; thousands of lakes have already gone dry, and the Yellow River, China's "mother river", has lost more than 25% of its water volume. Tibetan glaciers are now estimated to be melting 10 times faster than at any time in the last 300 years.

Sentido anticipates increasing convergence between moving and broadcast media and the static, readable internet. It is with this in mind that we have begun planning the launch of a "Sentido TV" digital platform for online posting and reader download of moving news footage and reporting.

Sentido's aim to extend its service into broadcast format multimedia stems from the belief that information is valuable in itself and that providing information over multiple channels liberates the audience that consumes such information. Sentido will not reduce its textual offerings, but will provide enhanced complementary audio-visual coverage of key stories.
