Layout, cost sharing
Starting with the September edition (9/2020), gradual changes have been introduced to the layout of Anthroposophy Worldwide; and first contributions have arrived to help fund the printed edition.
Since 2019 members have been able to choose to receive Anthroposophy Worldwide not only in printed or pdf format but also as a digital newsletter – an outlet that around 26,000 members are making use of.
In addition, the publisher and editor have decided to change the layout in order to adapt the publication to its function as a newsletter. When the digital newsletter was first introduced, we had decided to postpone such a makeover, because it was not clear then how many members would wish for a printed edition. Since it is now apparent that there is continued demand for the printed version, Fabian Roschka has started introducing some initial changes.
The most noticeable change is the absence of captions under the photos at the beginning of the articles, which is unusual; together with any other ‘incidental’ information, these now appear at the bottom of each contribution to make for a smoother transition at the top. The text structure has been simplified and articles no longer begin with a large initial. Further changes will be introduced gradually from issue to issue.
Help with production costs
In Anthroposophy Worldwide 5/2020 we asked the members to contribute to the production cost (for printing and shipping; recommended amount: 30 CHF/Euros). At the time of going to press, more than CHF 5,000 had already been received, for which we would like to express our heartfelt thanks! More contributions are welcome.
