Explore and evaluate news in English from multiple sources

Here we invite you to break free from the proverbial 'goldfish bowl' of local or national news to discover stories stealing the headlines in other parts of the world. Gain mind-broadening insights that help put those local happenings into clearer perspective.

Although the major search engines are doing a much better job than they used to in linking to a broad range of online news resources, individual site visibility and discoverability still vary considerably. Our aim is to provide safe and reliable news connections that for various reasons do not always figure uppermost in search results.

In recent years, the life span of news links has been greatly enhanced. More and more media organizations have opted for logical and user-friendly domain names and stuck to them. Another significant trend has been media consolidation. Not so few local newspapers have been forced to close down, while many more have been bought up by — or outsourced their online presence to — larger news networks. You will notice that even some long-established newspaper domains now forward to regional and cross-regional news hubs acting as syndication partners, serving to expand geographical readership and cut costs. We are regularly monitoring developments and will endeavor to keep our links up to date and trustworthy.
