About The World Desk
Verified global developments. Named sources. No partisan spin.
What we are
The World Desk publishes a Daily World Briefing so Americans can see how people abroad see the news. We read outlets worldwide — often in the original language — and bring those viewpoints here with named sources and local spin made plain.
Native-language reporting from around the world — so Americans see how others see it. Once you read the briefing, you'll value it.
Edited by someone who lives it
Our editor, William Kohn, lives in a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). He brings both the experience and the knowledge to understand what our senior readers need. We speak OUR language.
Educate mission
Our job is to educate, not to tell you what to think. No partisan spin. Every item lists its outlets. We use AI assistance in research and drafting. Every story passes an independent fact-check or our editor’s approval before it runs, and anything flagged red stays out unless it is fixed and re-checked, or the editor approves it. Our editor, William Kohn, sets the rules, decides every story the fact-check flags red, and is accountable for every edition. Details on How we make this.
