Proximities – a great email newsletter with three news stories about the non-Western world
In a world drowning in email, and increasingly with email newsletters, one of the messages I actually look forward to receiving each day is: Proximities: Today’s three stories you should know It’s an email newsletter from a journalist named Barry Malone that comes out almost every day. His goal is to highlight three “non-Western news stories you should know”. What I enjoy is that he very simply and succinctly provides a summary and then a link to read more.
