TBS is a media company connecting the Global Majority.
Who is the Global Majority? African, Asian, Latin American and Indigenous people make up the majority of the world's population. We use this term to be more inclusive and accurate than terms like "minority," which don't reflect global demographics.
Our Standards
For the Global Majority by the Global Majority.
We center the experiences and perspectives of the Global Majority in all our content.
Staying Neutral, Sharing Perspectives.
Our aim is simple: to present the facts without bias or political agenda. We want YOU to form your own informed opinions.
Seeing the whole picture.
We go beyond mainstream headlines to bring you voices from the Global South and the Diaspora. With us, you can understand how global events impact different communities.
Making it clear & easy to understand.
We present information in a clear, straightforward way, avoiding jargon so you can always follow along.
Our Name
TBS is more than just initials; it's a declaration. The Beautiful Societies. It's the grand narratives of nations and diasporas, yes, but also the subtle poetry of local communities and the powerful undercurrents of subcultures.
The Global Majority is a mosaic of these beautiful societies, each layer adding depth and richness to the whole. TBS is here to explore and honour that profound complexity.
