Today on Word of Mouth, we take a look at what’s bubbling up in the international blogosphere. The group Global Voices taps into the conversations citizens are having online around the world, highlighting stories that often fall under the radar of most American media. Our guide is Deborah Dilley, digest editor and writer for Global Voices. She’ll tell us about:

A debate in India over whether pre-marital HIV testing should be mandatory

A Moroccan woman denied citizenship in France because she wears the veil

The death and remembrance of a 108-year-old blogger in Australia

A young woman who’s new to blogging who rallied forces online to help a baby with meningoencephalitis
