The website Global Post is an online US news business that focuses
on international news. Launched in 2009, it counts on a large number of foreign
correspondents to submit their stories. The first tab on the home page allows
the users to search news by regions as well as topics and interests. Most journalists
who write articles for this website actually live in the region they are
describing, in turn increasing the credibility and feel for the story.
The “Special Reports” section focuses more on one specific topic, with an in-depth
analysis and heavy multi-platform use. At the present time, the main focus of the special reports is on the Egyptian revolution. Egyptian Journalists as well as American ones, have contributed to the report by working together on the field.
You can find a blog on any topic within
this website. The photo gallery is stocked with interesting pictures while the video gallery isn't updated regulalry and still refers back to old news.
It is
also possible to follow the Global Post from Facebook and Twitter.

Updated on a daily basis, the site offers interesting angles on
stories that would not be in US papers, as their coverage focuses on
international news. This does not mean
it fails to address important US stories. The news coverage is so vast that one
would have to consider it a combination rather than a single TV station or
Newspaper.
