Author: Eurasia Review
The Eurasia Review team publishes news and analysis on world events with an approach that focuses on how that news affects Eurasia and Afro-Eurasia. In a nutshell, we publish the “Eurasia view” of the world.
Despite the combined Eurasia and Afro-Asia areas containing over 70% of the world’s population, news continues to be dominated by a U.S. slant, and that is where Eurasia Review - an independent news outlet based in Madrid, Spain – enters the picture by providing a different perspective on current events. Eurasia Review readers will find content that has distinct and varied points-of-view — something that we believe allows readers to then make informed decisions
The Eurasia Review approach is to seek to present all sides to an issue, with an emphasis on analysis and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) materials.
In addition, Eurasia Review publishes content from its ever growing network of partners, which includes analysts, think tanks, academic institutions, journalists, authors and bloggers.
If you – or your organization – would be interested in forming part of our partner network please contact us here.
