Belgium: new weekly in Flanders

Posted by John Burke on October 22, 2007 at 4:43 PM

An English-language weekly backed by the Flemish International Relations Minister, Geert Bourgeois, has been launched in Belgium. The publication entitled Flanders Today will be produced by an independent team of journalists and will distribute 20,000 free copies per edition.

Mr. Bourgeois' is trying to serve the huge number of diplomats, journalists and students from around the world that live in Belgium, home of some of the European Union's main institutions. He plans to give these readers who do not speak Dutch a more in-depth view into life in Flanders.

The weekly comes accompanied by a website.
