Newsweek Launches Global Policy Maker Forums

NEW YORK, (October 28, 2024) – After a series of high-impact, face-to-face interviews with the leaders of Japan and India, Newsweek is excited to announce the launch of an ongoing program of forums dedicated to global policy maker discussions on geopolitical issues.

"We're proud to introduce this series focused on geopolitical policy discussions," said Newsweek co-owner and CEO Dev Pragad. "By bringing together some of today's most influential leaders and addressing the most pressing policy issues, we are creating a valuable platform for free, open, and balanced dialogue. This initiative reflects our commitment to purposeful, mission-driven journalism."

The forums will expand to include high-profile discussions across various industries, both at Newsweek's headquarters and at key global locations where news is unfolding. These will feature live and virtual events, presentations, interviews, and roundtable discussions, all designed to bolster Newsweek's reputation as a global leader in thought-provoking journalism and industry insights.

In recent months, Newsweek has hosted live interviews with leaders of major Asian democracies, convened panel discussions on the future of life sciences and their societal impacts, and launched roundtables on critical topics such as the intersection of energy, transportation, industry, and AI in medicine and climate science. Many of these events took place at Newsweek's global headquarters at One World Trade Center in New York City.

These insightful events are now part of Newsweek Horizons, a series of panels and conversations that bring together diverse perspectives to explore solutions for some of today's most pressing issues, from healthcare and wellness to climate change, sustainability, technology, and the workplace.

Additionally, Newsweek recently announced the launch of Geoscape, a comprehensive twice-weekly newsletter providing in-depth analysis of global hotspots, including Ukraine, the Middle East, and other areas of geopolitical interest.
