The Guardian Weekly website
The Guardian Weekly Global Network is a unique platform with an ambitious strategy: to invite a global community of users to close the gap between international news headlines and the personal experiences of real people.
The site invites greater interactivity and provides a range of opportunities for advertisers to engage a discerning audience across the globe.

"Our strategy is to focus our reporting on how individuals are affected by global events. We also want to connect our readers, giving them the opportunity to truly effect change and providing a platform for voices that are often overlooked. I hope the Guardian Weekly Global Network will become a must-read website for those interested in how global news and politics affect real people, from grain farmers in Africa to pro-Hilary voters in the US."
Mark King, Guardian Weekly Global Network, Editor
The site is split into two distinct parts, blending an original editorial theme with a social networking area.

• Education
• Human Rights
• Development
• Discovery
• 21st Century Life
