IHT to launch weekly education section

01 July 2010

The International Herald Tribune is set to expand is education coverage this autumn by introducing a weekly higher education section.

The new section will debut in September and feature profiles of innovative educators and news-in-brief digests. Topics covered will also include international cooperation among universities and technological advances in education.

The section will appear on a Monday and have a host of experienced contributors, including D.D. Guttenplan, a London-based college teacher and author, and Vir Singh, a newspaper and magazine writer and graduate of Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.

“The education section will open up new opportunities for international advertisers to reach our engaged readership, which includes active professionals looking to develop or restart their careers and parents of college-age students. The section will further add to the breadth of world-class journalism the IHT carries,” said Jean Christophe Demarta, international advertising director for The New York Times Media Group.
