Jubiläum 2014 - 10 Jahre The Atlantic Times
Im Oktober 2014 feiert The Atlantic Times ihr zehnjähriges
Bestehen. Das sind zehn Jahre, in denen wir in den USA
kontinuierlich über deutsche Politik, Wirtschaft und Kultur
berichtet haben. Ein kurzer Rückblick:
Die erste Ausgabe von The Atlantic Times wurde am
6. Oktober 2004 bei einem Empfang in der Residenz
des Deutschen Botschafters in Washington D.C.
präsentiert. „Wir möchten mit dieser Zeitung eine Brücke
schlagen zwischen Deutschland und den USA“, erklärte
Herausgeber Theo Sommer den hohen Gästen aus Politik
und Wirtschaft. „Die Zeitung will die transatlantischen
Beziehungen in den nächsten Abschnitt begleiten.“
Prominente Transatlantiker wie Henry A. Kissinger,
