I'll be interested to see how they handle Sports and other national issues that are totally uninteresting to people from other countries BUT are very interesting to people from the UK (or where ever) that are accessing the site from outside the UK.
Generally I've not seen this handled gracefully
- dotBen 13y agoOr just UK orientated news for ex-pats like myself. When I worked at BBC News we split the site into "UKFS" (uk facing site) and "IFS" (international facing site) but let readers pick via cookie which they wanted. Since I left they changed it to always set to your region, which is always frustrating.
- nly 13y agoProbably GeoIP. Visiting bbc.co.uk from abroad always weirds me out because of the ads, restricted content and international centricity.
- nailer 13y agoNYTimes does the International Herald Tribune, the 'global edition of the New York Times'. Guardian has had Guardian Weekly which is similarly international for around a decade too. Both are major-issues-only papers with a very slight US/UK slant.
