This includes the United States national news that would be of interest to a global audience.
DW News is owned by the German government. Think of it like their version of PBS but with a hell of a lot more financial support and independent from constant threats of being shut down.
Pros:
Exposure to international and Germen specific news. There is a lot of content but it will be different than the current crap we are getting here in the United States.
Global view of events and a different perspective of what is going on in the United States and the world.
The network is paying attention to disinformation and how to deal with it. There is a portion of the website that called DW Academie where they talk about the global problems of mal-information and disinformation.
Scroll down the whole page, there is some very good stuff here. Probably should check out the DW Academie YouTube channel.
Cons:
There could be cultural difference that could lead to misunderstanding what is happening in a particular American news story.
DW News is going to report from their point of view. There are going to be biases. We all have them. U.S. folks might be disturbed about how we as a country and as people are perceived overseas.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but at the moment our roses smell like poo-poo.
Lots of ways to access their content.
- English language version of the website is https://www.dw.com/en/top-stories/s-9097
- DW has a 24-hour live news feed on their website.
- There is also an English audio version that gives the daily briefing of what is happening in Germany and the world.
- DW News YouTube Channel.
For those that have an interest, there is a section of the website that will help you to learn German or refresh your ancient high school skills. In case you are planning a vacation trip or thinking about, oh I don't know, relocation?
Hey, it is just a thought.
