About Us
Mondokio means "world eye" in Italian. And this is exactly what we’ve
developed—a world eye for reading international news.
The problem we are addressing is that you can't understand an international news
story through just one, culturally specific news source. Doing so inevitably
misrepresents the reality of that story.
Our belief is that every news source presents stories in a manner shaped by its
location, its audience, its language, and how it’s financed. Mondokio pulls
together and presents, on one site, the most influential coverage on issues of
global significance. In doing so, we reveal those perspectives which were
previously hidden and help you to develop your own "world eye."
We also believe Arts and Culture have an integral role to play in the
presentation of news. As you navigate through our site, you'll notice videos
that correspond to the location of the news sources. These will provide you with
insight into cultures which may be different from your own.
The way people learn about the world is flawed. Mondokio is a tool to address
this. Please share your opinion with me. I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Brady Calestro
