Compass World
Nothing Is Simple
No newsworthy issue today can ever be confined to one region, one issue, or one lens of analysis. No newsworthy issue today should ever be. Compass World searches for the unexplored complexities hidden behind the day's dominating stories, spinning separate threads into a more comprehensive—and more nuanced—narrative about the forces at play in today's word. There will always be more questions than answers to the world's myriad issues, but we hope our cogent reporting on lesser-known aspects of global politics, economics, and society can illuminate what's worth paying attention to. We hope you'll learn something new when you read us every week, and we hope you grow to appreciate that, in this world, nothing is simple.
