Hello there! After a lovely short camping trip, I'm back at work adding the final touches to the next issue of Offscreen. Later this week, I'll be picking up some initial proofs from the local printer before kicking off the print of issue #16 in Berlin in the first week of February. In the meantime, there is still lots of work to do on the new Offscreen website and the new order management system. I leave you with these three articles that I enjoyed reading over the weekend: We Can Fix It: Saving the Truth from the Internet and Bigotry to the rich, and the morality of work. and (something a little more uplifting) 9 Sustainable Business Stories That Shaped 2016 — Kai |
