Present Progressive...I think

Dear Community,

what would you suppose is the right way to say the following sentence:

"Globalisation is being discussed controversially today"

"Globalisation is discussed controversially today"

I thought that "is discussed" tends to be more "done" while "is being discussed" is and will be an ongoing process. The more I think about it the less I make sense of it.

Thank you in advance!

I don't find either of those statements natural. I suggest eg Globalization is a controversial topic today.
