The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) works across a broad range of thematic areas, including cultural heritage preservation, educational planning, and community capacity-building. Created in 1947, the Courier is their flagship publication, and it is designed to reflect the Organization's concerns and thoughts. Since March 2006, the magazine has been published once a month, and it can be read in one of six languages, including English, Arabic, Russian, and Chinese. Each edition addresses one of UNESCO's primary areas of concern, and recently the magazine has covered everything from the cultural patrimony of Ethiopia to women journalists who bridge multiple cultural and ethnic traditions. Visitors can browse back issues to 1996, and they can also sign up to receive new issues via email.
