Letter: The Bridge Between the Editor and the Reader

That sincere introductory text on the first pages of a magazine is actually an introduction ceremony. Letter reminds that the magazine has a soul and a "recipient."

1. What is a Letter from the Editor?

It is the sincere text where the Editor-in-Chief greets the reader in every issue, tells the theme of that issue, and shares the agenda of the publication.

2. Why are Reader Letters Valuable?

Criticisms, praises, or suggestions sent by the reader prove that the magazine has a "community." Publishing these letters makes the reader a part of the magazine.

3. How Should It be Written?

  • Sincerity: Not a theoretical language, but a "you-us" or a direct language should be used.
  • Vision: It should not only talk about the content, but should reflect the stance of the magazine at that period.

4. Digital Correspondence

On MagPublish, letters are not just one-way. An instant dialogue can be established through reader comments and feedback.

[!IMPORTANT] Connecting: To prevent a magazine from being a "cold" information bank, letter pages are the most important emotional investment.
