The Smiths may not be the ones to do it. But can anyone create a truly global news source? And most vitally, would there be an audience for it?I’ve spent my whole career expanding news brands across borders and trying to address audiences as more than just inhabitants of a single nation-state. And I’ve come to this conclusion: We don’t need a global media, we need a globally literate one.
