This is a selection of GWP worldwide media coverage in 2013 – a total of 155 news items. The list is compiled by GWPO Communications from information via Google alerts and through Monthly Reports from the regions. However, the list does not cover all articles featuring GWP during 2013 because Google alerts do not, for instance, pick up stories in languages such as Chinese, Russian, and Greek (which have other alphabets). Most of the news items are in English.
Also, at the end, there is a link to other stories from CACENA (in Russian).
