Global Village News line

The Global Village News line is an independent Editorial Desk based in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Previously we were known to the public as the Global Eye Editorial Desk when we edited a print supplement that papered within the City News. At time we were on a partnership with a community relations organisation based in the city of Derry.

What characterises us is the fact that we are an Editorial Board composed entirely of non-national professionals. All the members of the Editorial Board work in several European and non-European languages. Also succeeded in regrouping several areas of special expertise (including teaching foreign languages, providing effective editing and translation solutions, promoting entertainment groups, organising public lectures and debates and in developing international educational partnerships).

Currently, we have moving from this organisational structure to create own independent journalists' initiative. The name of the new organisation is the Global Village, and we propose to develop as a media firm with our basic focus on (but certainly not limited to) issues related to diversity and multiculturalism in the community. We have been developing a substantial network of contacts with numerous individuals, organisations and state agencies in Northern Ireland and beyond, and we propose to continue our work to further heights.

During this period of restructuring and transformation, we have been to reaching the global public through a basic blog, which will has been updated on a daily basis. This is until our new website is finalised. Also readers invited to visit our former website at www.theglobaleye.co.uk to visit this blog for the latest news updates from the North West of Ireland. The new Global Village blog can be accessed at http://globalvillagederry.blogspot.com.
