Fred Hiatt finds it disheartening that the Boston Globe "would feel compelled to diminish itself" by closing its remaining overseas bureaus. "But maybe that's the nostalgia of a dinosaur," he writes. "After all, there are some very smart business people who see no harm in newspapers cutting back on foreign reporting. ...Still, in an era when clan structures in Somalia or separatist movements in the Philippines may have a direct bearing on U.S. national security -- when the people who run multinational companies such as GE regularly complain that Americans don't understand the world -- we should all worry about who, if anyone, will report from abroad."
