PROJECT SYNDICATE PROSPECTUS

0302


03


Project Syndicate was established in the early 1990s as an initiative to assist newly independent media in post-communist Central and Eastern Europe. Expansion to Western Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas quickly followed, as publishers worldwide sought access to the views of leading thinkers and policymakers on the day’s most important global issues.

Our rapid growth has been guided by rigorous editorial independence and a simple credo: all people – wherever they live, whatever their income, and whatever language they use – deserve equal access to the highest-quality analysis, from a broad range of perspectives, of the events, trends, and forces shaping their lives.

Project Syndicate thus provides an invaluable global public good: ensuring that news media in all countries, regardless of their financial and journalistic resources – and often

in challenging political environments – can offer readers original, engaging, and thought-provoking commentary by the world’s leading innovators in economics, politics, health, technology, and culture.

Indeed, without Project Syndicate, most of the publications we serve would be unable to secure comparable content. Project Syndicate’s unparalleled range and caliber of opinion, our ability to provide analysis of breaking news, and our commitment to focusing minds on complex topics driving the news – development, the Middle East, Africa, and sustainability, among many others – now benefits some 300 million readers of more than 500 media outlets in 156 countries.

Our ability to reach readers worldwide is unparalleled. In 2017, Project Syndicate commentaries were published a total of 24,062 times around the world.

Only Project Syndicate can consistently tap the most insightful contributors – from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas – to provide trenchant, authoritative analysis of the issues commanding global attention and promote viable solutions to the world’s urgent problems. As a result, we often play an agenda-shaping role for other news organizations.
