THIS is our 50th issue and 10th anniversary – frankly we’re amazed but happy to be here. The magazine seems to be in good shape, though, in independent publishing, financial problems are never far away. The greatly increased interest in the issues that we cover – from the anti-nuke and peace movements, to co-ops, anti-sexist politics, community technology and media – is encouraging.
It’s hard to define the paper, or what keeps us going – perhaps just the simple idea that people CAN try to take control of their lives. Yes, we look on the bright side of life – as long as the cheques keep coming in. And finally, a big thank you to all those out there in Undercurrentsland who’ve supported us over the years.
