If hyperlocal was the journalism trend of 2011, then hyperinternational is today's hotness. (It's also possible we just made it up.) That's why Gelf Magazine and Deadspin have decided to showcase the bestor at least the most interestingforeign-produced journalism with our new featureZooming In: The Olympic Edition.
Throughout the Games, we’ll comb through hundreds of international news publications to bring you stories and local perspectives that can’t be found stateside. Each day, we'll give you our top five finds, giving you the chance to be as globally cultured as foreign-government-controlled papers permit.
Think of it as Doctors Without Borders, except that instead of saving people's lives overseas, we're giving you snippy recaps of their articles.
After the first full weekend, we're looking at who the Israelis are looking at, the unheralded sport of olive-pit-spitting, and an equestrian monk.
