With over 100 reporters and freelancers based in 30 countries, many of whom work for big names such as CNN, The New York Times, CBC, Time, National Geographic, Rolling Stone and BBC among others, Dragon Fire editor Amy Webb says readers can expect international reporting not focused on war. "We're trying to be a place where people can come and interact with each other and become part of a more sophisticated global community," she says.
From the introductory editorial:
Our goal is not to break news in a traditional sense. We produce two issues per month, which may seem counterintuitive given that we’re a digital publication. After our inaugural issue, which we’ve made live in its entirety, we’ll publish a different section of Dragonfire each day of the week during a two-week cycle. We’re shooting for interactive quality rather than quantity. As we’re about to explain, the Internet isn’t remarkable because of its speed and endless space but because it has the unique ability to bring millions of people together at any time to share ideas and gain cross-cultural awareness.
Dragon Fire is headed to my list of news sources for now, and looks like it'll be a good one. And it's not only free, but also advertiser-free. Check it out.
