Rest of World is a news publications website that focuses on covering the impact of technology beyond the Western world, particularly in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.[1] It aims to highlight diverse voices and report on how technology is shaping lives in underreported regions.[2][3][4] The website is operated by Rest of World Media Inc., a private operating foundation established in April 2019.[5]
Rest of World was founded by Sophie Schmidt, daughter of Erich Schmidt and Wendy Schmidt (née Boyle). The organization's operations are funded through multiple sources, including the Schmidt Family Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and donations from readers.[6] While most of the core staff of Rest of World is based in United States, they also rely on a network of freelance journalists from around the globe to cover stories and provide diverse perspectives.
