The National Geographic Magazine
Lookingfor translators of the Croatian language as well as experts in the NG relatedfields.
Dear Nenad,
For the last 6 months I have led the efforts of bringing National Geographic
Magazine (NGM) to Croatia. As a result of these efforts, I am delighted to
inform you that the first issue of the Croatian edition of NGM will be on
the market in November 2003.
The Croatian NGM editorial team is in place and is already working hard on
preparation of the first issue. We have gathered the Croatian expert team
(the most eminent professors from Croatian Universities, other experts on
various NG related topics, etc.), but are looking for Croatian experts,
including translators based in the U.S., which we could recommend to NGM in
D.C. As you probably know, NGS gained its great reputation for reporting
accurate information and spreading knowledge of geography, geology, biology
and history of the world based on extremely high standards, also required
from every local edition, which is reverse translated and checked in every
single detail. Therefore, I would appreciate if you could disseminate this
information via Crown and ask if there are interested translators of the
Croatian language as well as experts in the NG related fields, who would
like to cooperate with NGM. They can contact either me directly or Hrvoje
Prcic, Editor-in-Chief of the Croatian NGM (at h.prcic@sanomamag-zagreb.hr)
.
Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Maja Jelisic

The Croatian NGM will not only contain translations of selected articles
from the US and other international editions of the magazine (the Croatian
edition will be the 25th international edition of NGM) , but also original
content articles from Croatia, which will then be part of the overall NGM
database and as such will be available to any other NGM edition. In this
way, the Croatian NGM will also be a promoter of the Croatian culture and
science and the Croatian heritage overall. However, this is not the only way
we will help Croatia. Namely, the National Geographic Society (NGS - the
largest scientific non profit organization in the world) also has research
funds (so far, Croatia received 10 grants for various research projects) and
the local magazine will be the main catalyst of allocation of potential
funds to Croatia (we already recommended and secured the grant for the
protection of White Griffon birds on the island of Cres).
For all these reasons and much more, we have already received support from
various Ministries and Government officials, incl. Ministry of Culture,
Science and Technology, Education, etc.). We will start presenting National
Geographic with the exhibition "National Geographic 100 Best Photographs
road show” in Dubrovnik, which will be a part of the official program of the
famous Dubrovnik Summer Festival, pls. see

rolled out nationwide: Dubrovnik-Split-Zadar-Rijeka-Zagreb-Osijek over the
next 6 months.
