LONG MONTHS OF discussion also went into the changes you’ll find in how the articles are presented. We were committed to maintaining the essential character of the magazine but wanted to make it more accessible and valuable to you. Here’s a quick guide to all that’s new:

RELATED CONTENT

View.This is our new magazine-within-a-magazine, which briefs you on emerging ideas and issues in all fields, ranging from world politics to everyday life. Incorporating our arts, health, and practical "how-to" coverage into the trend-watch section that has always run at the front of the magazine, View will now open each issue with short, informative articles that help you understand the world and your place in it (p. 18).

More Feature Stories. We’re adding more in-depth features to each issue. Look for essays on progressive patriotism (p. 53), and George Orwell’s lessons for today (p. 49).

Utne Weeder.An expanded Weeder now gives you ardent recommendations from our staff about the best in music, books, magazines, Web sites, and more (p. 37).

Utne’s Readers.On our back page, we will honor one or more of our readers for what they bring to the world. We welcome your nominations; for details see page 112.

Gleanings.This eclectic mix of personal stories, lyrical essays, impassioned rants, weird revelations, humor, and other offbeat offerings moves to the back of the magazine (p. 95).

AND AS YOU'VE probably noticed, we’ve changed the name of the magazine. We dropped "Reader" from the cover out of the conviction that as a magazine we are not simply about reading but also about thinking, acting, and connecting with the rest of the world. (For more about the name change, see Nina Utne’s Heartland column, p.12.)

I hope these changes stir as much excitement in you as they have in everyone here. Let us know what you think.
