Over the last month or so, we’ve seen our number of Facebook friends really take off. Thanks so much for using The Weekly’s page as a place to share and socialize Jeju news, events, and photography. It’s very rewarding to receive feedback on stories and to hear from the people who matter the most to our endeavor: an active online community of readers.

On a related note, though we’re very proud to produce a newspaper that is unusually beautiful — the high quality paper and vivid color ink we use is far above the industry standard — there’s no denying that The Weekly must address head-on the stark economic and environmental realities and find an appropriate balance.

Print, as we’ve been told for years, is an expensive, environmentally unfriendly, and a fundamentally outdated delivery system for content in the age of cheap and nearly ubiquitous Internet access.

So we’re excited to announce that our newspaper will soon appear in the new iTunes service called “Newsstand,” which is available on all iOS5 or later devices.

The Weekly will be delivered free of charge (at least initially) and bring you the same, beautiful layout you find in print. Links and email addresses will be “live” so you can click through for more information, a related story, or even consult an online map.

We have plans to add more layers of content, like audio and video, searchable maps, as well as eventually making our entire archive available online — some 65 issues at last count. (Making our PDF archive freely available for download has yet to be decided.)

If you subscribe on iTunes, then every subsequent issue will be “pushed” to all your Apple devices automatically. The Weekly also has plans to publish our Chinese and Japanese editions on Newsstand during 2012. We’ll keep you posted.

And finally, the winter vacation has taken a toll on our contributing workforce — everyone, it seems, is on vacation. So for the month of January, we’ll be publishing just 16 pages, instead of the full 20. If you’re on the island and would like to help out with story ideas, reporting, or have ideas on how best to make use of our Newsstand edition, feel free to email me.

Have a safe and happy 2012.
