New7Wonders — THE story of 2007 and beyond

New7Wonders Top Positive Event and News Story in 2007 showed power of first-ever global democratic campaign!

With massive coverage in almost all major international, national and regional media-print, television, radio or online, 2007 was the Year of the New 7 Wonders of the World. Media everywhere responded to the people's passion for this unprecedented, global democratic campaign.

Blanket coverage around 07.07.07
The months before the spectacular, record-breaking Declaration of the New 7 Wonders of the World gala in Lisbon on July 7, 2007 were particularly active, culminating in a wave of media calls for last-minute votes. After the more than 100 million votes were counted, the media shared the New 7 Wonders of the World with viewers and readers.
For a change, New7Wonders coverage let "international" mean something good - harmony, beauty, popular empowerment and mutual appreciation - in sharp contrast to the frequent features pairing "international" with violence, disagreement and intolerance.

A historic, democratic milestone was achieved—and the media took note
New7Wonders Founder and President Bernard Weber notes, "We are proud to have brought people together in a way that has never, ever been done. This is the first time that people from all corners of the globe joined their voices together - for our common good. In doing so, they chose the New 7 Wonders of the World. We thank the media heartily for multiplying and sharing in the New7Wonders message."
