“With its outstanding articles, its innovative videos and its magnificent design, IM Magazine focuses on the positive developments, reinforcing the belief and the hope of democrats and reformers that it can be done, that there are many pathways to a just, tolerant and responsible society to which we can all contribute. This is no small accomplishment, as the challenges we face are high and at times discouraging, and the best antidote there is hope – an informed hope, one that is solidly built on good practices and the inspirations successful reformers provide”.

"Every time, Ana Teresa managed to perform a brilliant job of identifying, interviewing and filming some of the most pioneering innovators who attended. She did so with grace, diplomacy, tact and charm. The results are there to see. Doing so as a regular journalist would already be an achievement. Ana succeeded on a modest budget, acting very entrepreneurially, often on her own, driven by her unique passion and commitment. Congratulations !"
Marcello Pallazi, Founder Progressio Foundation
“Being myself convinced of the vital necessity of lasting and more human news, I’m happy to find echo in IM Magazine. Media can - and should - contribute to razing awareness in order to achieve a more human world. I’m dreaming and working on the creation of a worldwide information net based on the idea of the construction of the future of our societies. I’m sure IM Magazine will be a valuable partner.”
