Project Syndicate Commentary Distribution In 2011, Project Syndicate distributed a total of 835 commentaries to its member newspapers. This is an increase of 18% from 2010. Furthermore, the following monthly authors joined Project Syndicate in 2011 – Mohamed El-Erian, Jeffrey Frankel, Christopher Hill, Stephen Roach and Andrés Velasco. Project Syndicate also launched its first ever economic weekly series entitled “A New Global Economy.” Although a large number of publications are invariably missed due to the difficulty in tracking publication in Project Syndicate members in poor countries, in 2010, 20,768 Project Syndicate commentaries were published around the world. In 2011 we recorded 23,827 publications, an increase of roughly 16%.
Project Syndicate Translations In 2011, Project Syndicate continued providing translations of commentaries in nearly all major world languages. We also launched a new Portuguese translation service in October. The table below shows the number of translated commentaries distributed in each language.
