Welcome to Global Dispatches
We are pioneers of a unique kid of mission-driven journalism that covers world news that other outlets ignore.
Our newsletter delivers expert analysis from foreign policy, global development and international affairs insiders. Think of it as “War on the Rocks” or “The Hill” but for the UN-crowd and world news junkies of all stripes.
Our podcast is the longest running independent international affairs show. It was named by The Guardian as one of 27 “podcasts to make you smarter” (alongside shows like Planet Money and This American Life). Episodes are 30 minutes long and showcase the expertise, analysis and insights of a diverse array of international experts. Global Dispatches — World News That Matters is freely available on every podcast listening app.
Our Work has been recognized as a pioneering example of “humanitarian journalism.” This is an emerging field that combines the conventions of journalism (like objectivity) with key principles of global humanitarianism (like the moral equivalence of all lives, regardless of location or geography). This often leads us to shine a spotlight on under-covered global stories and seek perspectives overlooked by conventional media outlets.
Our Target Audience is probably you! We reach over 9,600 newsletter subscribers and counting. The podcast has been downloaded over 6.5 million times. These are globally-minded professionals engaged in international affairs, human rights, humanitarian affairs, sustainable development and related fields. This includes senior leadership at the United Nations, in government, media, academia, think tanks and NGOs.
