Mission
Worldpress.org
was founded in 1997 and we are committed to
offering our readers a first-hand look at the issues and debates that occupy
the world's newspapers and magazines. As the space devoted to thoughtful,
incisive reporting of foreign news shrinks in the U.S. media, many subjects
and perspectives of vital international importance are increasingly obscured
or invisible to Americans.
Worldpress.org
provides an understanding of the information that shapes opinions and
views in other societies. As the world becomes more globally interdependent,
it is vital for Americans to understand that what is happening outside
the United States has a direct impact on their lives and their country.
Our goal is to foster a globally engaged citizenry, which acts not only
in its own country's interest, but also in the interests of the world
community.
Drawing upon publications around the globe, and a network of correspondents in dozens
of countries, Worldpress.org
illuminates the issues that barely see the
light of day in the mainstream press, translating, reprinting, analyzing,
and contextualizing the best of the international press from more than
20 languages. More than simply a source of international news and information,
Worldpress.org
provides users with a succinct view of the political and
economic climate globally.
More than 900,000 unique users a month find Worldpress.org
essential because it deepens their understanding of worldwide issues
and concerns. Each nation's press tends to view world events through
a prism of its own language, culture and national interest. Thus, a
closer version of the truth may be gained from reading a variety of
reporting, commentary, and critical analysis from many nations. Worldpress.org
is a unique tool for experienced internationalists and influential opinion-makers:
It breaks the barriers of language, geography, and culture, providing
first-hand information. Thousands of students and educators come to
Worldpress.org for our international perspective
as well as our foreign news expertise.
Worldpress.org
is considered an invaluable source for understanding the issues and events
of the world today.
