GlobalPost Launches; Want Global News? Then Pay Up

Balboni, who just launched GlobalPost with 65 correspondents in 45 countries, plus a staff of 15 at its Boston headquarters.
“High-quality journalism is threatened, and it may not be able to continue unless we can convince people that they need to support high-quality journalism on the Web with their own dollars and cents.”
