Six years, one month and six days. This is the age of the newspaper you got right before you. Hundreds of articles have been written, hundreds of names have appeared in this very newspaper. Some became known because of their regular appearance in the paper. Others became even more famous because of their name in the newspaper. One thing is sure. In those six years, one month and six days, the paper has undoubtedly been read and enjoyed by hundreds of readers.
Chief-editors went, new ones arrived. Sometimes a period of depression was called and then the paper even disappeared. But you can’t defeat good things and so this newspaper also returned, with or without a new chief-editor. Still we may not forget that this function means almost nothing. The chief-editor plans, corrects and selects articles, but the real source behind the newspaper are the writers of those articles. They alone make sure you have something to read while having some coffee and a sandwich before going to your shop, cityhall or parliament. They are the ones who deserve some heartfellt honour. But despite that, we can’t forget the chief-editors. Despite the fact that I minimized their work a little, I can’t say they didn’t do anything. Hours have been put in the lay-out or the writing of an article about some kind of subject if there wasn’t any article about it yet, the day before the paper came out. So also some credits to the chief-editors.
After six years, one month and six days it was time to see how we could develop this newspaper and make it a better one. A new concept was introduced which has to make it easier for the reader to look up their favourite articles. I won’t make illusions en realize very well that everyone of us only thinks of his own name when the words ‘favourite articles’ is mentioned. ”I have six full pages”, ” I have nine”, ”I have none”. The cries were uncountable. Some were disappointed, others were happily surprised. To the first group I would suggest: Do something about it and write for the next edition a nice article. Your name will show off above the article. To the second group: Continue to write and make sure you can hold your position. Write so the tiles will fly from the roofs!
If you are still not convinced, I invite you to surf through the editions. Undoubtedly, you also want to be immortalized between these beautiful pearls of articles.
I wish you a lot of reading fun with this 221st edition of The Miniconomist!
