The world daily par excellence: created by Americans back in 1887, published in Paris, printed in 28 cities and read in 180 countries around the world, the International Herald Tribune is far more than the international edition of The New York Times, its sole owner.

Long held in equal shares by The New York Times and The Washington Post, the IHT has changed considerably since 2004, adding colour to the front page and giving greater prominence to business, culture and leisure. As a result, two-thirds of its readership are non-Americans.

With clarity and sobriety writ large, the IHT website only contains articles from the paper edition and the latest stock market news.

French is just too provincial

One of the most consistently informative and entertaining blogs about the European Union has to be Jean Quatremer’s Coulisses de Bruxelles.

Losing Angela in translation

When presseurop.eu was launched in May last year, one of its guiding mottos was Umberto Eco’s “The future of Europe is translation.” But sometimes I’m inclined to think that the future of Europe is lost in translation. I recently checked a statement by Angela Merkel concerning the CD-rom nabbed by HSBC supergrass Hervé Falciani containing data on Germans who have siphoned off their money to Switzerland in order to avoid taxes back home.
