We are global citizens.
In a world where social media can bring news of a revolution to the world, our neighbor is no longer the person who lives down the street. Our neighbors are the nations that surround us. Now more than ever, it is crucial for people to consume news like we live in a global village — because we do.
But as newsrooms transform and adapt to the digital age, resources are shrinking and shifting closer to home. This blog aims to report and analyze international conflicts that have been under-covered in a 24/7 news cycle.
Driven by both original reporting and analysis as well as curated backgrounders on regional politics and economics, whether you’re looking for a deep dive into international events or a quick memo to bring you up-to-speed, Crisis Beat will have you covered.
