What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.

Mostly the latter. I like shitting on stereotypes.

It is worth noting that I myself belong to a stereotype in this regard: I'm trash talking a state I've never been to, so feel free to reciprocate the shitting.
