About Barry Malone
What is Proximities?
Proximities is a newsletter that briefly highlights three non-Western news stories a day. All too often, media that brands itself as international is nothing of the sort. News from a handful of nations dominates even as more important, more consequential, stories are developing elsewhere. Outlets with a pretense of being global would rather spend all day talking about a controversial tweet than about an explosion in Mogadishu. Our social feeds are dominated by rancor rather than reporting.
