A New Start for Frontline
Issue 15 of Frontline breaks new ground because we will not be producing a print edition. The Editorial Board has decided to refocus our resources and from now on Frontline will appear solely as a web based journal. Whilst our print edition was widely praised it required a tremendous effort by a small team to produce. The small circulation did not justify the resources expended. Most young people turn to the web as the first port of call when looking for information. There is still a place for print media in socialist political activism, and we don’t rule out producing print editions again in the future. But concentrating on our online presence will enable us to have more regular content and reach a wider audience.
We aim to:
- Produce the web edition of Frontline on a more regular basis
- Make the website more interactive
- Hold regular physical meetings, purely for political discussion, across Scotland beginning with Glasgow and Edinburgh
- Expand the pool of contributors to the journal
Capitalism is experiencing its deepest crisis for a generation whilst the left in Scotland is struggling to find its feet. We believe that more than ever there is a need for a journal that can act as a platform for debate, discussion and analysis.
If you would like to contribute to Frontline, would like to be informed of meetings or can help in any other way then we invite you to get in touch.
