This site is for occasional longer analysis and backgrounders on current news topics that I discuss on my channels and that I want to get into more generally or in a more detailed way. The posts here are intended to provide additional information. The publishing schedule is infrequent.
Most work happens on my channels on Telegram and VK, where I offer translations of original news sources, usually with no comments, except where needed for clarification or context. The focus there is on the areas of the former USSR, Near- and Middle East and occasionally norther Africa and southern Asia.
The translation channels are intended to give access to foreign language resources, mainly in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Turkish, Persian, Arab and Hebrew media and social media news sources, and give an insight into what’s going on outside the mainstream media filters. All translations are provided with links to original sources, for those who want to go and investigate themselves.
I often abbreviate News OFehr Media as NOFM.
