Chaque fois que je suis plus tranquille sur ce blogue, c’est que quelque chose d’important me prend beaucoup de temps. Il y a donc plusieurs jours qui se sont écoulés depuis le dernier message placé ici. Voici enfin pourquoi : nous étions à mettre la touche finale sur une nouvelle revue de plein air! Oui, nous avons finalement envoyé ADVENTURA hier sous les presses. Dès la semaine prochaine, vous verrez donc apparaître dans différents points de distribution cette nouvelle publication destinée au marché anglophone du Québec et de l’Ontario. Dès le premier numéro, c’est 60 000 exemplaires qui seront distribués gratuitement, selon le même format que la revue Espaces.
Si vous parvenez à mettre la main sur ce numéro 1.1, vous verrez que plusieurs textes sont traduits de nos derniers numéros. Toutefois, vous y verrez aussi du contenu original destiné aux lecteurs ontariens. Dès le 1.2, c’est presque la totalité des textes du magazine qui seront écrits et pensés pour les amateurs de plein air anglophones. ADVENTURA sera calqué sur le modèle de Espaces : destinations, équipement, conseils, environnement et actualité du milieu du plein air.
Au menu de ce premier numéro :
