1 (least fresh)

10 (most fresh)

Which of these statements applies to you?*

I read the news in detail every morning so I generally know whats going in the world

I have to read the news for my job

I receive other newsletters with global news

I read hard news like politics, world affairs and business once in a way not often

I love lifestyle news from different parts of the world (e.g. books, music, podcasts etc by people living in regions outside of mine)

Our mission is to bring all the news the Global Majority need to know to stay connected with each other. Which of the following statements applies to you:*

I immediately understood why this is necessary

I didn't immediately understand this but after reading your emails I sort of get it…sort of

I still don’t really understand this - what’s the difference between this and other global news?

From our What Matters Today section, which of the below pieces of news were new to you at the time you read them (i.e. you didn’t see them in any other newsletter or did not know of this news when you read it in our newsletter)?*

Weight Loss Drug Showdown: A trial was funded by Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of weight loss drug Mounjaro, to test the efficacy of Mounjaro vs Wegov.

Humanoid Robots in China: In order to address labour shortages, China is speeding up the development of AI-powered humanoid robots.

US Sanctions on Syria to be lifted: A major shift in world politics, US President Donald Trump announced yesterday that he would order the lifting of all sanctions on Syria.

Did you enjoy having one read that has different types of news in it (i.e. poltiics, tech, business and also lifestyle and society)?*

Yes, I like a well-rounded read that combines everything.

No, would be better if different types of news were in separate emails (i.e. hard news in one email and lifestyle/society news in another email)

Which of these statements applies to you?*

I didn’t know what the Global South meant before I read your newsletter

I still don’t fully understand what the Global South is

Honestly, all these terms really confuse me

I don’t think the Global South and Diaspora need to know each other’s news (e.g. I am Nigerian and I am not really interested in what Nigerians in US/UK are doing to be honest or vice versa).

I feel its more useful if I had a newsletter like this for my own country not really globally

I felt you focused too much on some regions and ignored other regions
