Interruption and resumption
“Here - Notes from the Present” halted publication with the issue that came out in June 2009. It will resume in January 2011 in collaboration with a non-profit publishing cooperative, “Solidarietà Come” (www.gruppocome.com, in Italian). It will come out four times a year (January, April, July and October) instead of three, and will include diary entries from more countries around the world. It will be distributed mainly by presenting it to ethical buying groups/CSA groups, fair trade shops, ecotourism and sustainable tourism operators, volunteer associations, and so on. In this sphere your help would be extremely valuable, if you are willing and able to:

  • talk about the review and try to find subscribers among your friends and acquaintances;
  • send us the addresses of people we could contact to suggest a subscription (we promise they would only be bothered once);
  • present it yourselves to groups, associations, etc. that you are in contact with (letting us know, so that they aren’t contacted twice).
We will no longer be able to give many copies away. There will still be the option, however, for those who cannot afford the full rate, to request a reduced-price subscription (basically, to decide themselves how much they can spend and let us know). The review will no longer be fully, freely accessible online as soon as it comes out; rather, each issue will be posted only a year after its publication (we’re sorry, but we’ve found that offering it immediately online free of charge cuts into the number of subscriptions and makes it harder for us to continue publishing it at all, online or in print).
