Goodbye, 'Hi' (mag-push American values to Arabic-speaking audiences)

Friday, December 23

10:08 a.m. ET
Goodbye, 'Hi' The State Department has pulled the plug, temporarily at least, on the print version of Hi magazine, which it launched in 2003 as part of the effort to push a message about American values to Arabic-speaking audiences. The department has spent $4.5 million a year to distribute 55,000 copies of the magazine to 18 countries. The Web version of the publication will stay active.
