Brilliant people shaping our world. Hi, I'm Cindy Pom, and before starting Newsthink, I worked as an international correspondent in Paris and London, contributing to CBS News and Canada's CBC News, CTV News, and Global News. But I wanted to tell in-depth stories that aren't always given the attention they deserve. So, I decided to go independent. Thanks for joining me on this journey of discovery!
