About Foreign Interest

Foreign Interest is an online news magazine with a global perspective, for it is in our interest to understand the world.

FI's mission is both grand and simple. Covering the world and everything in it is a bit
daunting, but it is fueled by unquenching curiosity and a need to know. In turn, such
knowledge, news, insights and ideas should be shared to as great an audience as
possible.

There have been numerous stages in the process of creating and producing a news
outlet that hopes to cover and reach the world on a multitude of levels. There will be
many more to come. Foreign Interest will utilize as many means to communicate
information in the future. The internet is currently the easiest to manage with a reach
that extends around the world. How could one look at the global picture without
working along those means?

Journalism in the 21st Century

The story has been and always will be the center of journalism, not the monetization, the corporations, grass roots, academics or audience. Those elements are all important, but any or all without the story is not journalism. It really is about the story. The cavemen gossiped as much as people today about their neighbors and what the local leaders were up to in their daily lives. Their tools were rocks used to carve on cave walls. Fortunately, the printing press, radio, television, computers and the internet have revolutionized journalism's reach beyond those walls. The tools are important in shaping the means to get the story out, but again, it is the story that remains the center of journalism. In today's realignment, all the tools are important and should be cherished, for they all matter.
