Forbes to launch Argentina edition next month

Forbes announced Tuesday its 19th local-language edition, Forbes Argentina, in partnership with DRP, a division of “Grupo 23” (G23).

The new edition is scheduled to launch on Oct. 10, 2011, in the Spanish language and distributed throughout Argentina. The editor is Alex Milberg who previously was the editor of Newsweek Argentina.

Distribution will be 15,000 copies and the cover price is US $5.50.  Editorial will consist of local business stories combined with content gleaned from the U.S. edition of Forbes

“Business-people, company executives, opinion leaders and students are all aware of the prestige and value of the information provided by Forbes. Now they will be able to enjoy that product in Spanish, with the addition of content generated by our local staff,” say Sergio Szpolski and Matias Garfunkel, majority shareholders of Grupo 23, in a statement. “We believe Forbes will become the number one business magazine in Argentina.”

Forbes has licensee editions in Africa, Bulgaria, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, India, Indonesia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Korea, Latvia, Middle East, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Turkey, and Ukraine.
