Washington
International magazine was
founded in 1985 on the need to link all of Washington's embassies and their
respective countries with our community. As the first publication of this
genre to appear on the scene in over twenty years we set out with a new and
creative agenda --- to build bridges between nations through cross- cultural
exchange and increased dialogue. In 1985, although the embassies were a part
of the Washington scene, our capital city was not promoted as an international
city. We had found our niche. Washington International consistently combines
cultural travel articles from all four continents with interviews offering
thought-provoking dialogues with Presidents, Prime Ministers and international
personalities.
With archives dating back 15 years, we maintain a history
of our changing world. Riding ahead of the wave of dynamic changes in Europe,
the archives include interviews in 1989 with H E Jurgen Ruhfus of the Federal
Republic of Germany and East German (GDR) ambassador Gerhard Herder, discussing
the Berlin Wall shortly before its fall. Also included is the rebirth of Poland
and Czechoslovakia and history and development of the European Union. In 1993
after an on site visit to Bosnia we covered the devastation of life and culture
throughout the country and wrote strong editorials protesting our US administration
lack of decisiveness in stopping the bloodshed. We have followed closely for
our readers the Good Friday Peace Agreement in Northern Ireland and will continue
to update on developments and opportunities for travel and places to visit.
We have featured many Asian countries including Taiwan with continuous updates
on a democratic country's struggle to maintain its sovereignty. In 1991 we
made our first visit to Cuba "Havana with a Human Face", followed every two
years with an update, the last in 1998, after the visit of Pope.John Paul.
Inspired by the people, places, culture and traditions whatever we have learned
we have tried to transmit to our readers. Washington International has not
modeled itself after any other publication either on our website site or hard
copy. It is a purely creative effort with its own unique niche and with the
help of its readers we make an effort to stem the tide of dehumanization by
keeping the personal touch. Washington International invites the reader to
explore the world. We recommend noteworthy hotels and destinations throughout
the world Published on 50lb.stock paper with an emphasis on quality and substance
we highlight a wide mix of local and international cultural events. Advertising
in Washington International gives your business an entrée into the
city's expanding international presence both in Washington and throughout
the world.
