The Intercultural.com, now 'in the palm of your hand'

It is the new vertical news portal that was created in response to the concerns of a media outlet, Empresa Exterior, and the growing demand from an online reader.

The internet is the largest global medium for disseminating concepts and knowledge of all kinds. It truly is a "revolution," which, as the term implies, involves a sudden change in a short period of time. And that is precisely what has happened in the way we inform ourselves and connect with each other in recent times. First there was the social and political revolution, then the industrial revolution, and now we are immersed in this new revolution: the digital, the technological one.

The content of El Intercultural will attempt to capture diverse cultural facets: the cultural, aesthetic, and artistic aspects of various forms of visual arts, literature, theater, film, and more. Opinion pieces will also be published on relevant cultural news. Both public and private news will be featured. The cultural industries, as a source of culture and wealth creation, currently representing 4% of our country's GDP, will also be a major focus of El Intercultural. Videos from public institutions, fairs, and training programs will also be of interest.

The website www.elintercultural.com emerged with the enthusiasm of a new project, but with the experience gained from five years of attracting weekly readers through the culture section of the business publication Empresa Exterior. During 2009, it launched independently with its own domain, continuing its development. We extend our gratitude to this publication, which from the outset recognized that culture is much more than mere decoration. Culture is an element of social cohesion, an integrating yet distinctive element that defines the unique character of a people. Culture is both a cultural industry and a pure pleasure, enriching the inner world of individuals and allowing them to acquire a greater sense of purpose.

The fast pace of modern life sometimes makes it difficult to stay informed and informed about current events. At El Intercultural, we will strive to offer essential events for art lovers. We will occasionally feature interviews with leading figures in the cultural world, as well as in-depth reports on issues that connect the cultural and business spheres on an international scale.

It is of great interest to us to offer a cross-cutting platform, that is, a place where different agents involved in culture flow and converge.

Finally, we bring culture closer to our readers through all available means, and thanks to new technologies, we can offer information on mobile platforms such as iPhone, Android, Palm, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile… bringing culture literally “to the palm of your hand”.
