Mar 26 - Government Announces New Statesman Magazine Partnership
The Government and The New Statesman have launched a six-month media partnership that will see New Statesman online host a Gibraltar microsite featuring the latest news, interviews and insight from the Rock.
The website is now live and can be viewed at www.newstatesman.com/gibraltar. The partnership also includes a monthly print feature published on the last issue of every month until August 2014.
The collaboration will keep Gibraltarian issues high on the media agenda. The site features topical insight on political issues ranging from the recent tensions with Spain, to Gibraltar's relationship with Britain and the EU, as well as economics, business, tourism and culture.
Previous partnerships between the NS and Gibraltar have included three 16-page special reports on the Rock containing interviews and profiles of the territory's influential business and political leaders.
The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, says:
"The Government is delighted to participate in the new project undertaken with the New Statesman to create an innovative online platform aimed at improving international awareness of Gibraltar. The project will undoubtedly play a major role in carrying the Gibraltar story around the world at a particularly difficult time of aggressive attempts to undermine the Gibraltarians and their economy."
A spokesperson for The New Statesman, said: “We are very pleased to be working with Gibraltar on such a wide-ranging project.”
