The first Weblog Newsletter, on the main issues and events of importance for ACP-EU development, was launched in November 2004. This service is followed today by over 20,000 visitors per month and more than 3500 news items have been posted since we started. A further 5000 people are subscribed to our free electronic Newsletter, available in French and English.
Last September, the site was revamped with some new features, including a weekly ‘Special Guest' video, the ability to share articles, an advanced search and improved links to the Brussels Briefings on development and an improved calendar.

Mr Jean-Philippe Rapp, Director of the International Media North South Forum, is our guest. On the occasion of his participation in the Brussels Development Briefing on the importance of media in the development of ACP countries, Mr. Rapp presented to us the International Media North South Forum, which for 25 years now provides a platform to discuss development issues at the global level and the main future challenges amongst television, radio and print media specialists. After being debated in September in Geneva, Switzerland, the theme of hunger is again the focus of discussions at the next International Forum on North-South Media which should be held in 2010 in Burkina Faso.
