Everything about The Guardian Weekly totally explained
The Guardian Weekly is a weekly
newspaper published by the
Guardian Media Group, and is one of the world's oldest international newspapers. It was founded with the aim of advancing the cause of
democracy in post-war
Germany. Its first edition was printed a week after the signing of the
Treaty of Versailles in
1919, and included the following as a statement of mission: "We aim at presenting what is best and most interesting in the
Guardian, what is most distinctive and independent of time, in a compact weekly form".
The Guardian Weekly offers a compact digest of four newspapers. It contains articles from
The Guardian and
The Observer newspapers in the UK, as well as reports, features and book reviews from
The Washington Post and articles translated from
France's Le Monde newspaper.
The Guardian Weekly carries a monthly
Learning English supplement that offers news and classroom aids to teachers of
English as a Foreign Language, as well as a guide to the best listening on the
BBC World Service. Its fortnightly
Outlook section focuses on international development issues and the vital part played by NGOs in the field. It also offers the website
Guardian Abroad for expatriates.
The Guardian Weekly is printed in three centres - the
United Kingdom,
Australia (
Sydney) and
Canada. Its readership is approximately 340,000. The paper's readers include many world statesmen, including
Nelson Mandela, who subscribed during his time in prison and described the paper as his "window on the wider world".
George W. Bush is reportedly the first
President of the United States since
Jimmy Carter not to subscribe to
The Guardian Weekly.
On 1 August 2007, the
Guardian Weekly's website was relaunched as the
Guardian Weekly Global Network, which contains news written in the first-person and a community area where Guardian Weekly subscribers and users can plot themselves on a world map, meet and communicate, and submit eyewitness accounts themselves.
