What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

News Year’s Eve, neighbours staged a loud party that became even louder in the early hours

having knocked on the front door with no response, he ventured down an open path to the garden, where he asked guests if they could move their party indoors. Party host ‘threw a drink’

He claimed some guests pushed him and shouted at him while filming him and that the host threw a drink over his granddaughter

the neighbour subsequently filed a police complaint for trespass

Human rights campaigners say it is “standard practice” in Dubai for people to preemptively file a police report when they are themselves at risk of being reported because of their behaviour.
