Delving into "global events" and news international not only broadens the mind and stretches the thinking, but it also remains one tried and tested way to battle the present-day obsession with self-serving social media.
Below are several quick links to either national dailies or online portals, all of which I have found useful and engaging for one reason or another.
Solid, serious reporting on Asia
British-based, very dependable and especially good on culture.
The British Broadcasting Corporation
Brought up from young on the BBC World Service, this online portal is a real gem for me, despite its left-leaning tendencies.
Alright, admittedly more of a tabloid, this one none the less supplies extensive coverage and write-ups on global and sports news.
Although Canadian news does not seem to affect us much, this keeps me in touch with happenings in Canada, where I spent a most lovely six years of my life.
The daily broadsheet of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation; pro-establishment.
Australia's number one news site, as advertised.
A product of the colonial era, this Hong Kong newspaper remains the mainstay of news and is decidedly cautious in its stand with regards to Beijing.
Malaysia's largest newspaper; pro-Barisan Nasional.
An alternative source to The Star
American based news site, pro-Democrat
American based news site, pro-Republican.
