NEWS FROM THE EARTH TIMES: A NEW WEB SITE

The Earth Times and its daily Web edition
http://www.earthtimes.orgew/whats-new.html. is better than ever. A beautiful new
look enhances many new features that make The Earth Times
indispensable to anyone concerned with the environment and
sustainable development. The Web site has won more than 32 awards
for outstanding design and content. 

The new Web edition will have a feature story that will remain on
the site for a two-week period...while offering two new stories
each day as in the past. The featured article starting Jan. 21 
is The Earth Times's "Man of the Year," Klaus Schwab, founder and
president of the prestigious World Economic Forum, which convenes
the annual Davos Meeting in Switzerland for global leaders in
business, government, academe, science and the media.

An on-site search engine and improved navigation tools simplify
finding the many articles and pictures published in the Web
edition and maintained in its database. Particularly useful for
researchers and students, The Earth Times archives are a treasure
of information for anyone wishing in depth information.

The daily news journal, published by the not-for-profit Earth
Times Foundation, specifically explores the subject of
change--how individuals and institutions work in their own
societies to tackle their challenges and generate positive change
in social and economic conditions. 

The new design was spearheaded by Executive Editor Louis
Silverstein formerly assistant managing editor at The New York
Times. 

Pranay Gupte is the founder, editor and publisher of the Earth
Times and is a columnist for Newsweek International and
contributing editor at Forbes. A widely published author he was a
staff reporter and foreign correspondent for The New York Times.
Webmaster is Annie Johnson of California. Earth Times columnists
include Tom Wicker and John Corry, formerly of The New York
Times, and Dr. Soon-Young Yoon, a noted anthropologist.
