About Alexis Ludwig
Welcome to Unbreaking News - for those wanting a break from the breaking kind.
The world seen from a slightly skewed, multiple perspective—past and present, abroad and at home, whether some antics about semantics in faraway places or seemingly critical developments at home—reflecting a life lived (and diplomatic work done) in ten countries plus the United States, delivered without panting or hype. Because, frankly, if it’s that urgent it can’t be important.
Of interest (I hope) to those interested in pursuing a career in diplomacy or foreign affairs (the personal as well as policy dimension), but also suitable (I trust) for a general audience of concerned citizens.
Will feature original foreign service-type stories, first-person recollections, and professional reflections on past episodes and current events, and appropriately cynical takes on critical developments. I might beg, borrow, or steal from others while giving credit where credit is due.
