It was not until just a couple years ago that I started to explore the other side myself, like you are now. One piece of advice I can offer you is to look at other nations news broadcasts, if you are able. I don't know what the programming is like where you are, but here in Wisconsin, the CSPAN channel from time to time offers news from Lebanon, Egypt, UAE, and some Europian countries. BBC is a regular on PBS. It's really surprizing the difference in the style of reporting, and footage that I have never seen (nor do I imagine I ever will) on CNN, FOX, or the other American stations.
Other than that, I rely on my friends to tell me what it was like in their countries, internet (which makes me a bit leary) and well-chosen books.
Take care Michelle.
