From Bridget Johnson:
As an international affairs columnist, a question I hear often from news consumers is, "How does what's happening a world away affect me?" In this age of globalization, the impact of current events transcends distance. On this site, I'll be presenting news from around the world in a way that draws it into context of the big picture. The concerns of the U.S., or any other nation, don't stop at its borders, thus it's important for readers to know what's going on around the globe.
