Description
Launched in 2016, DailyChatter is an international daily newsletter principally owned and operated by Philip Balboni, the founder and former CEO of the international news website GlobalPost, and Alex Jones, a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter for the New York Times and the former director of Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy. With a mission of helping its subscribers understand the world better, the newsletter aims to be objective, clear, and concise, to allow subscribers to stay informed despite busy lives. Each day, a staff of experienced journalists based in Europe, Asia, and the United States research an extensive array of global news sources and craft a summary. In the age of fake news, it is crucial that the next generation learns to identify factual reporting. Providing college students, especially those in fields unrelated to journalism, with a trusted source of news that makes complex world affairs accessible will help combat the effect of misinformation on our democracy. With Corporation support, DailyChatter will offer free subscriptions to students at participating colleges and universities.
