FORBS - informational partner to the XII SPIEF

Forbes - as it is in its native America and as we strive to make it here in Russia - is a unique publication.

The magazine was brought into being by the talented American journalist B. C. Forbes. At the beginning of the twentieth century he worked as a financial commentator in the Hearst newspaper empire. Forbes' reputation and authority were so great that in 1917, when he left the paper to start his own magazine he had no compunction about naming it after himself.

The Forbes name meant that the founder's principles would dictate policy: corroborated facts and straight talking and the Forbes point of view.
Ninety years on and the magazine has changed just as the entire press industry has changed, but the Forbes family (which manages the magazine to this day) has preserved its most valuable asset: the right to an independent editorial point of view.

Forbes stands out from its peers by conducting uncompromising research and not fearing to call a spade a spade. But above even that, Forbes glories in the spirit of enterprise and the free market - without which there could be no economic progress. We chronicle the rise and fall of businessmen and identify new economic trends well before other newspapers or journals, and advise on the best way to manage money. You will not find "analyses" cobbled together from other media sources or "news items" which are doing the rounds from one publication to another in Forbes Magazine.

The market has shown its appreciation for our approach to information. Four years after the launch of Forbes Magazine readership reached almost 600,000. This is more than any other business journal.
