The Stanley Foundation

Navigation bar from the Stanley Foundation homepage

Our readers who have access to the Internet are invited and encouraged to visit the Stanley Foundation's site on the World Wide Web. "We have a web site that is driven by content," said Jeffrey Martin, Vice President for Communications. "The foundation works on projects in so many areas related to international relations, foreign policy, and global affairs that it is often difficult to convey the depth and breadth of that work. We try to give people a sampling of that through publishing the Courier, but we're limited by space. I think people who visit our web site stand the best chance of getting an idea of the quality and volume of the foundation's work."

What's There
The foundation's web site has several major sections, not all of which have been fully developed yet. One central section is an on-line version of the Courier, which will include not only stories from the print version of the publication but also a news and notes section featuring short articles about events that might not fit into the printed publication.

Conference reports published by the foundation are also on the site. A section on Common Ground, the foundation's radio program, includes transcripts of the program, an up-to-date list of stations broadcasting the program, and eventually audio from the program itself. Another section on citizen programs will include information on the many and diverse projects carried out and supported by the Outreach Department.

Finally, from the foundation's site visitors can directly link to the site for World Press Review, the foundation's magazine with news and views from around the world. Visitors there will find some of the favorite features from the print version of the magazine.

More Coming
The foundation's web site will be updated at least weekly. In addition, links—already used extensively within the site—will be expanded to connect visitors to other sites where similar work is done. And new sections and features will be added to the site as our work continues and evolves.

"This will be a very actively managed site," said Martin. "We've hired a young and talented webmaster, Jim Yoon. And we have set a major challenge before him. The web is a good communication vehicle for us, and we plan to make the most of it."
