Ownership,
the publisher and the editor
Sole
owners of World Water Watch are the Austrian publisher Klaus Pahlich
and the British journalist Geoffrey Weston, who is the editor. The printed
version of the magazine is published in English in Vienna, and the editorial
office is in England.
KLAUS
PAHLICH and GEOFFREY WESTON formed a partnership in 1994 (as publisher
and editor respectively) to found Danube Watch - The Magazine of the
Environmental Programme for the Danube River Basin, which they controlled
for its first four years. Danube Watch won a high reputation for
the quality of its writing, its concept and its visual appeal.
The
long experience of the two partners and their first-class credentials
in different fields - which perfectly complement each other - qualify
the partnership uniquely well for the task of launching a global magazine
concerned with the freshwater environment.
The
partners bring together a deep knowledge of environmental issues, expertise
in the most up-to-date publishing techniques and technology, and vast
experience of editing (and writing for) a wide range of publications in
English at the highest international level.
GEOFFREY
WESTON has more than 35 years' top-level experience as an international
journalist and editor with assignments in nearly 50 countries. With vast
experience in international newspapers and magazines, broadcasting, books
and more specialized publishing, there are few major areas of human activity
that he has not covered. After many years as a senior editor on The Times
of London, he subsequently contributed or provided editorial services
to most of the top-class English-language media from The New York Times
and The Wall Street Journal to the BBC, The Economist and the Financial
Times. He has written on many environmental issues through assignments
in countries as diverse as Germany and Greece, Kenya and Kuwait.
KLAUS
PAHLICH has been a highly committed environmentalist for more than 20
years with a long record of involvement in "green" causes. He
was joint founder of the Austrian branch of Greenpeace International,
for many years environmental spokesman of the Young Austrian Peoples Party
and chairman of the Environmental Committee of the Austrian Youth Council.
A trained graphic designer and photographer, Klaus Pahlich is technical
editor of the photo-reproduction department of Die Presse, a leading
Austrian daily newspaper. He is also the founder, proprietor and director
of a publishing house - Arquus Verlag Klaus Pahlich - based in Vienna.
