GlobalPost Media Corporation is an American digital journalism company and former news website that focuses on international news. Founded on January 12, 2009 by Philip S. Balboni and Charles Sennott, its stated mission is "to redefine international news for the digital age." GlobalPost now has 64 correspondents worldwide following the kidnapping and beheading of James Foley, an event which has raised questions about GlobalPost's role in sending unsupported personnel into conflict zones.
In 2015, GlobalPost was acquired by WGBH. The company was reacquired by Balboni in the fall of 2022 and reorganized into GlobalPost Media Corporation.
