The Institute for Security Studies launches new magazine for Africa

Publish: 12 August 2009
The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) is proud to announce the launch of the-african.org, a new magazine written and published by Africans for the African continent.
Truly Afro-centric, the-african.org draws on the first-hand experience of Africa's top researchers and journalists and presents insightful and thought-provoking views and analyses of our continent's business, political, socio-economic and cultural issues.
The ISS is a pan-African research institute and think-tank. Its mission is to inform and enhance the debate on human security in Africa and look ahead to future trends and developments on the continent. The-african.org captures this valuable research and delivers quality insight and an astute understanding of the affairs of the African continent. In addition to the ISS contribution, the-african.org also features a business section, a culture feature, opinion pieces, book reviews and reportage photography contributed by well-known and respected African journalists and columnists.
The-african.org is targeted at influential individuals and decision-makers across Africa; not only politicians and academics, but also civil society leaders and the business community.
The magazine is edited by Liesl Louw-Vaudran, a former Africa editor for one of South Africa's largest media groups and is published bi-monthly. The magazine is available for subscription online www.the-african.org and for purchase in selected Exclusive Books and CNA stores in South Africa. The-african.org is also available on-shelf in Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Over time, distribution will be extended to cover most southern and east African countries.
