Our
Regular Features
Our features include factsheets, quotes and analysis.
|
The Globalist publishes one new feature
each day, seven days a week. Our features range from riveting
stories to in-depth research, from factsheets and quote selections
to quizzes and charts.
But whatever the format, the material
we present is consistently engaging, relevant and insightful.
Each of our feature categories is described below:
|
On
the Richter Scale™/
In Focus
Discussion
and analysis of the tremors in the global economy.
|
 |
"On
the Richter Scale/In Focus" offers fresh interpretations
about key events shaping life in the global community
— and how people live and work. Whether the subject
at hand is women and Islam, America and its SUVs —
or rebuilding Afghanistan, "On the Richter Scale/In
Focus" features always provide interesting and thought-provoking
new perspectives.
|
Global
Diary™
A
guided tour of the global community.
|
| Our
"Global Diary" offers first-hand accounts from
around the world. The subject may be a profile of child
labor in Nepal, of Harry Potter and the British Empire
— or of Mayan farmers and globalization. Our "Global
Diary" relies on a story-telling narrative and vivid
prose to celebrate — or lament — life in the
global community. By telling one individual story at a
time, our "Global Diary" tackles the larger,
more abstract process of globalization — and makes
it very real and comprehensible. |
 |
Globalist
Quiz™
A showcase of information about
the global economy — where even "wrong"
answers offer great insights.
|
 |
The
"Globalist Quiz" invites readers to test their
knowledge about globalization: What is Africa's most populous
nation? Which well-known countries are not members of
the United Nations? What country exports the most oil
to the United States? Presented in an entertaining and
educational format, "The Globalist Quiz" takes
readers on an educational world tour. |
The
Globalist's Quick Quiz ™
Sharp and witty statements and
facts — infused with the fun and excitement of
a guessing game.
|
| Combining
an interactive approach with intriguing cross-cultural
comparisons, The Globalist's Quick Quiz is a daily feature
available only on The Globalist's homepage. Quote quizzes
take an insightful, offbeat or provocative statement
from a public figure of international prominence —
and ask, "Who Said It?" Fact quizzes
explore
one fascinating facet of the emerging global community
— allowing readers to test their savvy of global
issues in an entertaining manner. |
|
Read
My Lips™
A
compilation of what key public figures have to say about
the emerging world we live in.
|
|
"Read
My Lips" is a highly entertaining forum that features
a wide-range of voices. A compelling cast of characters
— including Kofi Annan, Pope John Paul II, Fidel
Castro and others — address important issues related
to key countries and current issues around the globe.
|
 |
Globalist
Factsheet™
Facts and figures on the key
issues, institutions and companies shaping the global
community.
|
 |
By
presenting facts in an engaging question-and-answer format,
our "Globalist Factsheets" engage readers from
the get-go. As one fact follows another, a compelling
narrative emerges. The "Globalist Factsheet"
might address women and the global economy, being down
and out in Silicon Valley-or China's upcoming Olympics.
But an unexpected narrative always emerges from the carefully
assembled facts to make for a rewarding read. |
Global
Bite™
Short
and to-the-point features that take on the true pitfalls
of the global economy.
|
| Our
"Global Bites" offers trenchant observations
on the blunders of globalization — and the leaders
who commit them. Written in a brief and breezy style,
our "Global Bite" feature targets inconsistency,
pompousness and self-righteousness in global politics
and economics. |
 |
Globalist
Bookshelf™
Book
excerpts that offer a lively quilt of perspectives on
the global community.
|
 |
Our
"Globalist Bookshelf" features excerpts from
the growing number of books on globalization. Previous
excerpts have been taken from books about China's trade
history a thousand years ago, the new European currency
— and other stimulating subjects that address important
new ideas related to the global community.
|
Globalist
Research Briefs™
Key
data on the global economy produced by The Globalist Research
Center.
|
| Great
insights can be gained about economic, political and cultural
issues around the world by presenting creative visual
"translations" of important data. For example,
"Globalist Research Briefs" present a list of
10 U.S. cities that have a GDP comparable to that of individual
nations. The goal is to show key data in a compelling
visual format designed to enhance worldwide understanding. |
 |
Globalist
Chartroom™
A
daily chart explaining the key issues
before the global community.
|
| The
Globalist Chartroom displays the key issues before the
global community — by regularly presenting information
in an easy-to-read visual format. Chart by chart, The
Globalist tracks the course of the global economy and
history, politics and culture — and interprets the
trends. |
|
Globalist
Papers™
Produced
by The Globalist Research Center and selected outside
analysts.
|
 |
Globalist
Papers examine aspects of globalization in a methodical
manner. They use economic analysis, history and current
information to try to decisively answer some of the
key questions of globalization. Globalist Papers cover
topics such as how the EU has become a key regulator
of the U.S. economy, or why trade agreements might help
to reform Japan.
|
Globalist
Documents
A
collection of speeches, statements and resolutions —
affecting the debate over globalization.
|
|
Globalist
documents link readers to the sources of key statements
that affect globalization. From speeches of important
figures at global financial institutions to reports
that shape and define debate on critical issues, we
believe that people should have the ability to see the
original — and not just read a journalist’s
view of the document. That is why we use the Internet
base of The Globalist to link to these key documents.
|
 |
Global
Economic Minute™
Key
economic concepts and developments illuminated on the
radio in 200 words or less.
|
 |
The
GEM is a daily one-minute radio program on the global
economy produced by The Globalist. Featuring voices
from around the world, each GEM is a concise anecdote
that explores one facet of the global economy. We probe
globalization by turning well-researched facts into
fascinating stories that provide insights on global
events — and their effects on everyday life.
