DW’s audience comes from all walks of life and every corner of the world. They personify the values that DW stands for and represent the diversity and possibility of a new globalized generation. As an international provider of news, information and learning, DW reaches its audience in many different ways. That is the focus of DW’s new corporate brochure which showcases some of the things we do best and introduces you to a group of individuals who exemplify our goals.

These are people like Hala Mahdy, a journalist from Cairo who whose daily work is a testament to DW’s values of journalistic integrity in the face of harsh conditions. Or there is Hakan Aldogan, an architect from Istanbul whose creativity and cosmopolitan outlook represent the young generation in Turkey. Mark Kaigwa from Nairobi is an international representative of Africa’s growing digital generation who has participated in DW’s Bobs awards. You can get to know more about them and the other interesting people being featured on the MyDW website.

It’s a great overview of the things we do best, whether it is DW-Akademie, the annual Global Media Forum or our internationally acclaimed television programming.  Take a moment and get a crisp and compact overview of the news, culture, entertainment and education that connects with millions of people every day and meet some of them who embody what DW is striving for- maybe you’ll find something in common.
