Electronic Journals
The State Department's Information Bureau publishes a biweekly journal in electronic format. Each journal focuses on a specific policy issue related to one of the following subject areas:
-
Economic Perspectives
-
U.S. Foreign Policy Agenda
-
Issues of Democracy
-
Global Issues
-
U.S. Society and Values
Although varied in subject matter and treatment, the journals are structured along similar lines. Each of them contains a main core or focus section that addresses a key policy issue or theme in an authoritative and comprehensive manner. The focus sections, depending upon subject, may consist of in-depth interviews, by-lined articles from officials or experts, commissioned or reprint articles, staff-written articles, reports, documents, commentary and analyses. Additionally, journals may carry several continuing departments or sections that encompass the subject area more broadly. Each journal also carries bibliographies and other sources of information.
