I've taken the paywall off or @cosmo_globalist's weekend review so that everyone who follows me can see how comprehensive and helpful it is and then run, not walk, to subscribe.

If you like it, would you please share this Tweet and the newsletter? claireberlinski.substack.com/p/-global-eyes…

Let me explain what it is: Global Eyes is a premium feature for subscribers to the Cosmopolitan Globalist. (You also get access to the magazine, podcasts, book club, Zoom calls, and much more.) We send it out several times a week. cosmopolitanglobalist.com

If you read Global Eyes regularly, you'll know everything you need to know about what's happening in the wider world to be a reasonably well-informed person.
We organize it by regions, to which we give equal weight: Asia-Pacific, Africa, Middle East, Europe, Americas.

Since 2/24, we've also had a section for Ukraine and another for Russia.

The "Global" section treats--well, that's self-evident.

We also devote a section each to choice items from the Chinese and Russian media, translated to English.

It's a cultivated list of the most interesting things we read in the entire world's newspapers, wires, think tanks, NGOs, foreign office communiqués, social media posts, and more. We choose from English and foreign-language outlets.

Many hugely significant stories receive almost no coverage in the Anglophone media. (Africa, especially, is painfully neglected.) There *is* outstanding reporting to be found in every part of the world, almost, but you have to spend a lot of time looking for it.

And we do.

We read foreign-language newspapers in every major language, via Google Translate (which is astonishingly good now), and we follow key social media accounts around the world--diplomats, journalists, people who strike us as interesting and informed.

We add commentary, emails, and social media posts from our correspondents and from other reliable observers. (And a lot of my own commentary, too.)
Another bonus if you subscribe: You can join our discussion section.

That's one of the more civilized places to discuss global affairs on the Internet. Our readers range across the saner part of the political spectrum. They often disagree, but the discussion has so far been courteous. We haven't yet had to kick someone off for being an imbecile.

Though we would, without hesitation.

Does CG have an editorial stance? Yes.

We're on the side of the decent and the peaceable, and the world's beleaguered liberal democracies.

We abhor cruelty and authoritarianism. We're horrified by war, despotism, political lunacy, and the reemergence, the world around, of ideologies that should long ago have been consigned forever to the sewer.

(We are not, however, pacifists. We believe the only way to deter a bully is by punching him in the nose or putting a J-DAM down his smokestack.)

We're interested in, and we cover, the whole world. We figure other reporters have the Mar-a-Lago beat covered, so we don't need to.

For a host of economic, cultural, and structural reasons, foreign news coverage has all but disappeared from the Anglophone media. That's the gap we're try to fill.

Here's a FAQ about who we are and why we're doing this: cosmopolitanglobalist.com/the-cosmopolit…

Is there a market for this? We hope so. We're not yet pulling in the big bucks, but we're absolutely sure there are more people like us out there. We just need to find them.

If this is you, you're one of us:
