Atlantic Times, a free monthly newspaper in English about Germany

I received a new edition of Atlantic Times today, a monthly newspaper about Germany. It’s a pretty interesting read; it’s also completely free if you live in the United States or Canada. I figured there might be some folks out there who’d be interested in it, thus this blog post. Here’s the blurb from their website:

In October 2004, the first issue of The Atlantic Times was presented to the American public – a German monthly paper for lawmakers and newsmakers, business and opinion leaders in the United States.

We launched The Atlantic Times to stop the drifting apart of Europe and America, and especially Germany and America; to end the transatlantic estrangement caused by the Iraq crisis; and to build on common ground while learning to live with our differences.

The Atlantic Times has featured articles by prominent public leaders – politicians, businessmen, media people and academics. In interviews and backgrounders we highlighted many weighty issues that could potentially divide us.

Our basic message, in print and online, has been, and will be: We are still friends, and we must remain friends. So let us not confront each other with swollen necks, but let us reason together.

You can read some of the articles that have been in their paper on their website, like this one on America still having friends in Europe. (Link may very well be dead in the future; I believe they only offer a few articles at a time, and I think they may just reuse the same URLs over and over.)
