Global Issues in Context is a database that presents global perspectives on current events and world-wide issues, like deforestation, women's rights, fair trade coffee, drug cartels, the 2016 Olympics, and many, many more. They are even labeled as news, opinions, articles, editorials, etc., so you can tell the difference between fact-based stories and opinions. The resources are from all over the world, so you get not only the American/Western viewpoint, but the news from the Manila Times, Xinhua, and even Aljazeera.
