So, I was reading a special section of the Financial Times regarding Japan the other day, and there was an ad about the Yomiuri. I checked out their web site today, and found not only the English language section, but also a column about Go, which starts with this great quote:
Worry and fear are destructive to our personal lives and our work. But we endure those emotions all the time because we believe there is a payoff. When we set goals, we worry about the obstacles we may encounter. Sometimes the obstacles assume such huge proportions we are consumed by fear. This situation is created because we generally believe what we see. By changing the way we look at things, we can change things for the better.
In go, beginners often worry about their stones being taken. If they let go and even purposely sacrifice stones, their game will improve."

While I'm on the subject of foreign-based but English-language news sources, two sites:
The Local (Sweden)
The Copenhagen Post
