This has truly been an incredible year at Sharnoff’s Global Views.

I am very pleased to celebrate the first year anniversary of Sharnoff’s Global Views, a global op-ed forum featuring original content by internationals for Americans.

Except for A-list politicians, the majority of internationals do not have platforms to share their views, save for the occasional one line quote in the New York Times or Wall Street Journal. I wanted to create a free and open space for internationals to share their views directly with Americans. SGV has exceeded my expectations and has grown beyond my wildest dreams.

In just three months, SGV has received scores of original articles and interviews from politicians, activists and analysts. SGV has gained more than 100,000 Facebook “likes”; has content circulated from major media outlets, and the articles are indexed in Google News.

SGV is an independent website and exists solely for its contributors and readers. I have been deeply humbled by the positive feedback. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all very much for your continued support and interest.
