International News

It seems like the more the United States gets involved around the world, the less international news we have. The news media has cut its foreign coverage to the bare minimum . Foreign news seems to be the last item, if at all, on everyone’s news budgets.

For that reason, and because the subject is dear to my heart, I have taken the plunge into blogging. If I can add a little bit of international news and opinion to the public consciousness, I will be happy.

I’ll be focusing on the countries I’ve reported on, like China and Taiwan, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria. But I will also report on developments elsewhere in the world, especially from places like Afghanistan.

Hopefully, if you all start reading this blog, you will have suggestions on stories/countries to write about.

I can only hope.

    Glad to see this, Larry. I hope you also find a way to do more of the original reporting that you’re so good at (and that is so needed).

    Thanks, Sarah. But I don’t want this to be just my voice. I’m hoping you and everyone who comes to the site will add to the discussion… If you have any ideas, comments and/or criticisms, please post them.
