Editing a magazine

Today we finally got ourselves a real editorial board for the international magazine which I am editor of. We are now a team of four guys (no girls were interested  ) who will work with the bi-monthly issue of this magazine which will be covering mostly human rights, north-south issues and European Union matters. The next issue, which will be out December 1st, will have human rights as its topic, because the International Human Rights Day is in december.
The editorial board consists of myself, a guy who is marketing director of a prominent Norwegian snowboard/lifestyle magazine, a young man who has some experience with newspapers himself, and the leader of the international committee of Norway's Liberal Youths.
We will now focus on not only making the next issue as good as possible, content-wise, but we will also be looking into funding opportunities. It is our hope that we can soon start printing say 500 or 1000 copies of each issue and send some of them out to other political youth parties here in Norway as well as NGOs such as Amnesty International or the Red Cross.
Creating a magazine is something I really find intriguing. Giving different voices the opportunity to express themselves is an important passion for me, and it is my hope that I can get even more experience in this field. I will also be focusing more on creating a dynamic web-version of the magazine, which can be interesting to the visitor and hopefully also engage the person to be involved him/herself. Having the opportunity for comments on the different articles, and a intuitive layout on the site, are important issues for me.
Unfortunately, the magazine is Norwegian-languaged, so I cannot share it with all my friends in the international community. Oh well, we will see. Perhaps we will make a translation to English for a special international issue.
To be able to publicize "IT", and present things to readers who for instance know nothing about the subject, is very interesting and I hope to always be involved with this goal.

Most work is always done by taking the initiative first and then people join in one by one.. someone has to give it a start. Congratulations!
