Global matters is a project of the Center for Global Politics at Freie Universität Berlin. Our goal is to present ideas and reflections on important global issues. We live in an ever more complex world that is undergoing profound changes.
Global issues – or matters – like environmental degradation and climate change, weakly regulated capital flows and underfunded banks, the proliferation of weapons, irregular migration flows, growing sectarian violence, apparent conflicts between democratic outcomes and minority rights, are becoming ever more important. That is why we think that global perspectives matter.
All media organizations are reporting from their own world view. Some call this political alignment, some editorial leaning and, and some media bias. We call them Narratives.
Sites are mainly Non-partisan or Impartial on their political alignment. They are mixed on whether they support the local Establishment but are usually critical on Trump. Also on a geopolitical level they are mixed whether supporting the Western Coalition.
We’ve done research on who owns or funds the site so you can learn easier about possible funding bias or conflicts of interests.
