We all know that traditional news media is struggling.  Not only is the competition from new media such as blogs, online video, Twitter, and so on threatening traditional news outlets, but more and more consumers are becoming disheartened by the obvious political leaning of major news organizations.  GlobalPost is changing all of that with its new media journalism born of traditional news values.GlobalPost is a new media leader combining the best of traditional news and new media by forging a new type of news site.  GlobalPost was built by veteran journalists who came from top news organizations such as Hearst, Tribune, New York Times, and major media backgrounds.  The site has grown into a major international news site, linked and sourced regularly by numerous leading news organizations, and is a backbone wire feed for major news outlets around the world.What makes GlobalPost unique?  Take a look at some of the highlights of the GlobalPost business model:
