GlobalPost has a long history of devotion to international news.

An illustrious part of that history is the video reporting we did around the world. While most of those reports were done a decade or more ago, they’re as compelling and as historically relevant today as they were when we produced them.

Many of the videos below are drawn from GlobalPost’s award-winning On Location series which was the winner of the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award.

We’ve chosen an initial group of video reports from a library of almost 900, and we plan to share more here in coming weeks. I hope you’ll enjoy them and that you’ll remember, as you watch, that courageous journalism can only survive with readers’ support.

GlobalPost’s core mission of bringing the world to your doorstep continues through our flagship newsletter which has grown to be the largest in the United States exclusively devoted to world news.
