Hello everyone! Love the idea behind these threads!
My name is Barry and I write a newsletter called Proximities. Every day I briefly summarize three non-Western news stories and provide links should you want to find out some more. I do it seven days a week and it's free of charge. I'm a journalist and a former foreign correspondent and the idea came from a sense of frustration I feel that most "international" news channels are dominated by Western news even when there are hugely important things happening elsewhere.
My recommendation is probably of most interest to people based in the UK. Conquest of the Useless by Mic Wright is a newsletter about the British media. The critiques are brilliantly written and the quality he delivers every morning without fail amazes me. https://brokenbottleboy.substack.com/
