Costa Rica News – Are you looking for a potential job at Forbes magazine in Costa Rica? The popular North American business publication, Forbes, is going to be introducing their Central American edition this month with its first issue detailing the wealthiest individuals within the region.
The info was verified by Max Linares, CEO of Forbes Mexico, who said that the publication should have a regular monthly circulation of 50,000, of which 30,000 will be dispersed equally throughout Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panama. Meanwhile El Salvador and Honduras will get 7,500 each and Nicaragua will get 5,000 copies.
“The Central American marketplace presents a great opportunity for the launch of a powerful brand at a global level such as Forbes,” Linares said.
