A magazine about non-violent and pacifist political themes, with a progressive editorial line, Swans condemns the commercialization of the Web and is “…about thinking, questioning, observing, and providing ideas that are lacking in the mainstream media.” The interest about political principles, joins in world geo-political articles, especially about the Balkans,Iraq (with special and meaningful works) and Palestine.Swans publishes also a few articles in French on a monthly basis, Le coin français, which are edited by the French story teller and translator Marie Rennard; Jean-Claude Seine contributes his words and pictures.
