Worldcrunch
https://worldcrunch.com/
Journalists Jeff Israely and Irene Toporkoff founded Worldcrunch, inspired by the French weekly Courrier International and the Italian weekly Internazionale, intending to make it a global, independent, and digital news source. Part of its mission is to “help readers to break out of their respective ‘news bubbles’”.
The media outlet was launched in 2011, following Israely's time as a foreign correspondent in Rome and Paris.
Worldcrunch covers international news, and translates and adapts it into English. The media outlet started as a news curation site, translating and adapting information published by foreign media outlets in dozens of languages. However, the team now publishes analyses, cross-border articles, and innovative multimedia journalism pieces from more than 40 countries and at least 15 languages.
Therefore, it became a window of opportunity to create a network of partner media outlets and journalists willing to share their work in English, a language that gives many people, including non-native English speakers, access to this international information.
