The better educated somebody is, the more likely they are to have reasonably fluency in English. There are some great non-English sources out there, but English is the most read language by well educated people.
Not saying there are not great news content in other languages. However English should be expected to dominate over the whole world.
- KPGv2 1mo agoThis is a bizarre take. Newspapers, even really good ones, generally don't target international readers. They target their home country's readers. How many Englishmen are interested in the machinations of unions in Paris? How many Frenchmen? Obviously the best coverage will be in the country's majority language.
- bluGill 1mo agoThe best coverage for a country will be in that countries language. However for world events coverage English is the more likely language. For niches that might interest you English might be the only option since odds are someone in every country speaks English and reports on that niche. (odds, but no guarantee)
- KPGv2 1mo ago> However for world events coverage English is the more likely language Can you explain how you arrived at this conclusion? Certainly when I lived in Japan and picked up a copy of the Yomiuri Shimbun, the world events coverage was in Japanese. And when I've traveled in France, Le Monde was entirely in French. The international section didn't become English. > For niches that might interest you I'm not sure you're talking about newspapers at this point.
