As a previous subscriber to Transitions or a recipient of Transitions
Article Reprint Syndicate, we thought you would be interested in
hearing about the launch of Transitions Online
<www.transitions-online.org>, an Internet monthly covering political
and social issues in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet
Union.
Our September issue, "Ready to Blow," focuses on the region's
simmering ethnic and political conflicts -- most of them legacies of
the Soviet Union's collapse -- and Russia's direct or indirect role in
financing, arming, or peacekeeping.
Transitions Online is a nonprofit new media venture built on the
excellent reputation of our predecessor, the print version of
Transitions magazine, which was renowned for its local perspectives on
issues impacting the region. Influential newspapers such as The New
York Times, The Washington Post, and The International Herald Tribune
have all praised how Transitions magazine created a window into this
dynamic region. In addition to being a reliable source of quality
coverage, Transitions was a leading force for independent journalism
in former communist countries and provided previously unheard local
voices with an international audience.
Using our network of local correspondents, Transitions Online
publishes each month a selection of articles focusing on a particular
theme with broad regional impact. We regularly post opinion pieces,
media articles, and other feature stories. Our site -- which already
receives some 300,000 hits each month -- will soon expand to include
Real Audio, an advanced search engine, enhanced discussion groups, and
a new Digital Kiosk with links to hundreds of regional media sources.
Future additions to our editorial coverage will include a Week in
Review section and Country Files, which will contain detailed
background information with regularly updated economic, social, and
political indicators. We will also include a Who's Who of influential
personalities throughout the region. Finally, our Analytical Forum
will publicize academic and public research, creating an online
community of experts.
With our headquarters in Prague, Transitions Online sits exactly at
the point where East meets West -- ready to be the political,
economic, and societal bridge between the two, providing the most
comprehensive coverage and deep analysis on one easy-to-navigate site,
and offering a unique resource for your daily studies and work.
Content and technology combine to make Transitions Online a powerful
tool for students as well as professionals who want to increase their
knowledge about the region, and use it to their advantage. Don't let
the dynamic transition of this vital region leave you behind.
