🌐👀 Global Eyes

The Cosmopolitan Globalist's peerless global news survey

Claire—welcome, new readers! I know there are lots of you from our stats counter. I don’t know what brought you here, but I’m delighted you’ve joined us. Have a look around. This list of our best stories from 2022 a is good place to start. (We’ve taken the paywall off of those, too.) Also, read our About page, which explains what we do and why we think it’s important.

Today you’re receiving Global Eyes, our premium news survey for paying subscribers, whose ranks we ardently hope you’ll join. We look at the key stories from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas, in turn. There’s also a special Ukraine-Russia section. Global Eyes is drawn not just from English-language reporting in the mainstream press, but from foreign-language newspapers that you probably don’t usually see. We conclude with a selection from the Russian and Chinese media, after which, to restore your will to live, we wrap things up with the Daily Animal. We publish Global Eyes every week, often more than once. If you’d like to read it but you’re not sure you’re ready to commit, the first week is on the house:

So make yourself at home. We’ve now been chosen as Substack’s featured publication twice, so we’re probably doing something right.

If you can’t afford to subscribe right now but really want to keep reading CG, send me a note. Some of our readers live in countries with currencies that aren’t doing so well against the dollar. If that’s you—or if you’re a student, or if you’re just down on your luck—we can work something out. Our readers (who are wonderful) have donated subscriptions for people like you. Just send me an email. (And of course, if you’d like to donate a subscription, please do: I guarantee it will make someone’s day.)
