INTERNATIONAL PRESS REVIEW
Foreward

International Press Review is a review of major business and professional publications and electronic media in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Information about each publication is gathered from responses to the IPR Press Survey, references in scholarly works on the media and culled from references in general interest and trade publications. An index and key to major sources is included. The guiding principle of IPR is unbiased analysis of media prominence and effectiveness in serving intended market audiences around the world.

Guiding Practices and Principles of IPR:

  • IPR is not a journal of opinion, but a quick reference work for users and observers of the print and electronic media. Sources may be omitted from the Review simply because IPR has insufficient data to submit a useful entry.
  • IPR is not intended to be a staff directory.

The senior editorial supervisor of each publication is listed under the general title Editor. The senior advertising sales person is listed under Advertising. The listing is not intended to reflect the precise job of the individual named. Publications are in the native language of the country of origin, unless otherwise noted. Circulation figures are rounded off and are presented to show relative size, not precise market share.

Phone numbers listed for each publication are for the editorial department or for the general switchboard. Separate telephone and fax numbers are listed for the Advertising contact, if available. The international phone prefixes are included in the country overview.

We realize that many publications have been omitted from IPR for the reasons stated above. In a sense, IPR is a work that is continuously in progress. With your help we believe we will ultimately achieve our goal to become the definitive source of information on major publications around the world. We encourage readers to complete the IPR survey found on the back page and forward it by mail or fax to the address indicated. All responses will be kept in strictest confidence. We are anxious to hear your response to IPR and welcome your suggestions for additional entries.
