CNBC Africa to launch magazine
Business, finance and markets channel CNBC Africa plans to publish its annual coverage of the World Economic Forum on Africa in a magazine titled African Trends. The magazine, published by Panorama Publications, will be distributed at the 2011 event from 4-6 May in Cape Town, South Africa.
According to CNBC Africa, African Trends, is a collection of personal opinions with a range of views from government, business and journalists who are either recording or partaking in the growth wave that is transforming Africa.
"The intention is to build this magazine into a comprehensive manual for strategic thinking as a prelude to the annual economic forum" says Gary Alfonso, MD of CNBC Africa.
Urs Honegger, MD of Panorama Publications says, "We are proud to be associated with CNBC Africa and the publication and we believe that African Trends is a flag for the WEF on Africa and holds true to the forum's 2011 theme - 'From vision to action, Africa's next chapter'."
