WORLD: The Biggest News Stories of 2018

Source: Brigada Today, December 30, 2019

What, to you, were the biggest news stories of 2018? We’re talking about stories that impacted your life, your work, and the lives/work of the people around you. So please, don’t suggest that it was all about leading political figures. Yes—they can exert influence. But what top stories DIDN’T relate to polarizing government leaders [and] still impacted your work and witness—even if they only did so in your region?

Here are some possible suggestions to prime the pump. Was it…

  • Kim Jong Un announced that North Korea will denuclearize
  • The net neutrality debate
  • Cuba, and the transition out for the Castro family as rulers
  • Iraq holds its first elections since driving out the Islamic State
  • Bitcoin crashes (or at least falls)
  • Prince Harry and Meghan said “I do”
  • Terrible wildfires in California or a new tsunami in Indonesia

We also noted a recent study demonstrating that almost seven-in-ten Americans feel worn out by the amount of news these days! (Pew Research Center).
