European Weekly’s
Pazifische Rundschau/Revue du Pacifique:
We are the bridge between Europe and the Pacific Northwest

The European Weekly’s Pazifische Rundschau/Revue du Pacifique was originally founded as the Pazifische Rundschau in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1965 and has been headquartered in Seattle, Washington since 1998. Our business plan is simple – help build and promote the European community in North America. The European Weekly’s Pazifische Rundschau/Revue du Pacifique does consider itself “the bridge,” and a source of information for the European-American community. We offer additional value by keeping them informed of events here and in their homeland - in English and their home language (currently French and German).
The overall objective of the paper is to bring broader European political, economical, cultural and social issues together with current events and life in the Pacific Northwest. Building a strong network for and with the local European community is important to us. Given this, we see us as representing the European community in the Pacific Northwest.
We strive for excellence using a variety of written forms: Essays, analysis, commentary, editorials, and reviews.
In addition to subscriptions the European Weekly’s Pazifische Rundschau/Revue du Pacifique is distributed free of charge to European clubs and organizations in the Pacific Northwest, and to a variety of European businesses and stores.

Demographics
Our referral campaign has kept our subscription list growing, helping us reach the elusive market of the euro ethnic population in the U.S. and Canada by making good our offer to send a free copy of the European Weekly’s Pazifische Rundschau to anybody who has an interest in our paper’s content. As a consequence, we have subscribers scattered throughout North America. Our circulation reaches subscribers, interest groups, stores, libraries, newsstands, clubs and other distribution sites and includes the European Weekly’s website and weekly e-mail-newsletters.
