Well, I've never read The Times of India myself, but I have read foreign papers and listened to foreign radio stations on the internet on and off for the past decade or so. Some of my local PBS stations will play BBC or NHK brand news casts from time to time too, which is kind of cool. All of that stuff seems like a different world sometimes, for all sorts of reasons, and it can be quite the novelty. Though a lot of the times, I think I really lack the necessary background knowledge to really appreciate the weight of some of the stories being told.
