Welcome to INSIGHT by Frida Ghitis…

…where I provide a unique perspective on world events — and, yes, world events including those occurring in the United States - with a special emphasis on democracy, human rights and conflict.

I have covered global events for decades, looking at the news from an uncommon perch, observing, analyzing, and commenting on the world from more than 70 countries; from the Amazon jungle to the Arctic, from Somalia to Singapore. My work has taken me from deserts of Gaza to the heights of the Himalayas. I have covered wars and revolutions, interviewed presidents and guerrillas. I sat down with Fidel Castro and with Jimmy Carter.

My experiences have allowed me to observe global events in a way that is distinctive and give me a perspective that can be useful to anyone interested in understanding our complicated world.

INSIGHT is a place for commentary, context, and analysis about stories making headlines, as well as events that lie below most people’s radar, but merit greater attention.

You can still read my articles at CNN, the Washington Post, World Politics Review, and elsewhere; and you can still listen to my commentary on television and radio. I am a paid on-air contributor at CNN and CNNE, and I am the senior columnist at World Politics Review.

But with INSIGHT, we will have a more personal conversation, without mediation or filters from editors, publishers, or anyone else. I will tell you what I think — and I am eager to hear your comments.
