A new paradigm in foreign correspondence

Good story in the New York Times on Sunday about the new paradigm in foreign reporting. It wasn’t that long ago that a reporter for, say, the Times understood that few of the people he was covering would ever see what he wrote — and that it would trickle back slowly.

Now, because of the Internet, writes Anand Giridharadas, Western media outlets are available everywhere — so much so that the majority of Google searches for Indian and Chinese news in the Times comes from those countries.
