RealClearWorld was founded in 2008 by Tom Bevan and John McIntyre as an extension of their successful RealClearPolitics platform. The idea behind RealClearWorld was to provide a curated selection of the best analysis and commentary on international affairs from various sources across the political spectrum. Bevan and McIntyre saw a need for a centralized hub that could offer readers a comprehensive view of global events and perspectives. Today, RealClearWorld is part of the larger RealClear Media Group, which remains independently owned and operated by its founders. Based in Washington D.C., RealClearWorld focuses on international news, geopolitics, and global affairs. The site covers a wide range of topics including foreign policy, international conflicts, global economics, and cultural trends from around the world. Unlike traditional news outlets, RealClearWorld primarily aggregates and curates content from other publications, selecting what they consider to be the most insightful and important articles on international issues. In addition to curated content, the site also features original analysis and commentary from its own contributors and editors, providing context and perspective on complex global issues. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of RealClearWorld is its “World Digest“ feature, which provides a daily summary of key international events and developments. This digest is compiled by the site's editors and offers readers a quick, comprehensive overview of the most important global news, making it a valuable resource for those who want to stay informed about world affairs but may not have time to read multiple full-length articles each day.
