HIV/AIDS Magazine for Asia Pacific

Dear Friends,

We are in the process of finalising the content for the second
edition of the YouandAIDS magazine, which one can describe as the
HIV/AIDS magazine for Asia Pacific. Some of you might have seen the
first edition, published in 2001.

Conceptualised and designed in the format of a popular, mainstream
magazine, YouandAIDS, strives to communicate on the diverse spectrum
of issues related to HIV/AIDS in the region in an innovative way. It
will have a cover story, special features, headlines, interviews,
opinion columns, arts and culture, photofeature etc - in short almost
the same content that any mainstream successful magazine carries. But
the only difference is that it is on HIV/AIDS - cover to cover.

I am writing this to inform our media network friends that if any of
you are interested to contribute can do so. The cover story this time
is on Human Trafficking and HIV in Asia Pacific and we would like to
see some inputs coming in from South East Asia, or more specifically
from the Mekong region.

You may also contribute interviews, special features, photographs etc
which you feel need wider dissemination. As committed media
practitioners and communicators, it will be a good opportunity for
all of you to communicate across the region. The magazine will be
distributed all over Asia Pacific and also in other parts of the
world.

Though we prefer original material, if you feel that a particular
piece you have already published may be reproduced, we can accept it.

We are planning to get the magazine out before the end of the month
and hence the deadline is quite tight. Still, I can assure you, it is
worth a try. Please write to me at pramod.kumar@...

Thanks
Pramod Kumar
