ABOUT THE NEW YORK OBSERVER

Every Wednesday, New Yorkers in the know pick up the salmon-colored New York Observer for insightful coverage of culture, politics, society, business and the media. The Observer invites readers to sit at a modern-day Algonquin roundtable, featuring the likes of Erica Jong, Ron Rosenbaum, Robert Gottleib, Todd Gitlin and Philip Weiss. "Our alliance with Featurewell," noted Brian Kempner, President of The New York Observer, "broadens the already significant influence of the paper, giving readers outside New York City access to whip-smart reportage of the city and beyond."

ABOUT NEW INTERNATIONALIST

Founded in 1973, New Internationalist reports on issues of world poverty and focuses attention on the imbalance between the powerful and the powerless in both rich and poor nations. The magazine has won several Alternative Press Awards from The Utne Reader magazine, as well as the United Nations Association Media Peace Prize, given for an outstanding contribution to world peace and development. "New Internationalist," wrote Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu, "is a magazine well worth reading, as it respects the intelligence of its readers. It is independent, lively and properly provocative, helping to keep its readers abreast of important developments in parts of our globe that risk marginalization."
