Abbott Media Launches World Politics News MicroBlog
Abbott Media, a New
England-based company that innovates and inspires micro-businesses that serve
others, has launched World Politics News (worldpoliticsnews.blogspot.com) a
MicroBlog dedicated to expanding our knowledge of politics around the world.
Each day, World
Politics News seeks out links to news stories that inform readers of the vital
political and cultural stories that are shaping the world, but are
under-reported (and sometimes completely ignored) by American media companies.
The site not only
links to stories, in the format pioneered by Matt Drudge, but will feature
short MicroStoriesTM of up to 250 words or less that encapsulate
vital world events and bring them to readers in a smart, efficient and easily
understandable way.
Abbott Media
founder Stephen Abbott, a former newspaper reporter and public relations
consultant, will serve at the project’s administrator and chief editor. He says
the project will fill important gaps in American news coverage.
“News media in the
United States are dropping the ball by not delivering world news effectively
and in a way that informs us about the political currents shaping our world,”
he said. “These currents could, as they reach our shores, turn into tidal waves
or Tsunamis that effect our quality of life. To be ill-informed about politics
in Asia, Europe, Latin America or Africa is to be blind to what’s going to
happen to us in the next decade, or even next week.”
Abbott says the project will seek out guest reporters and will accept advertising, grants and donations to fund a full-time staffing operation.
Abbott Media innovates and inspires micro-businesses
that serve others in a positive way. Abbott
Media is located online at www.abbott-media.net.
