Search Engines

Searching for news about bamboo using search engines will find you the widest range of results but it is more productive when you don't restrict yourself to one search engine, I always find a wider variety of news articles when I use a selection of different search engines and directories rather than sticking with the same one all the time.

Bamboo news search on Bing, choose to get results on bamboo from a local perspective or from the wider world, or just one other country. Change your country settings in Bing search and you will see different results.

Bamboo news search on Google brings up not only the most recent news articles published but also tells you how many articles have been released on that particular news topic. At the bottom of the page there are some links to a news archive that takes you to old newspaper articles with bamboo in the title, some of which date back to 1953. I'm not sure if there are any previous to that but these archived press releases are scanned from old newspapers and some of them are really interesting!

Newspapers

You can also get quick access to any bamboo news articles by doing keyword searches at news sites such as The New York Times. The result will be a list of any news topics with your bamboo keyword in it. You could narrow it down by typing in 'bamboo plants' or 'bamboo forest' and so on, depending on what interests you have in bamboo. News about bamboo in The New York Times

Also, pay a visit to the site of the National Mission on Bamboo Applications (NMBA) press room and past press coverage for a whole list of releases over the years.

Bamboo Societies News

Bamboo societies and clubs have news pages where they tell you what has been happening in bamboo societies around the world, and they usually have an events page too. Bamboo Club list.
