Hello again, everyone! As I mentioned in the comment thread of my last post, more information has been provided on the 3 global magazines that the Church will start using next year: the Liahona (for adults), For the Strength of Youth (for youth), and the Friend. It appears that more content will be made available digitally, and that each printed magazine will be slimmed down somewhat in terms of the number of pages.
With the exception of the May and November editions that cover General Conference, the Ensign for the other ten months of the year has been an 80-page volume. The number of pages in most editions of the Liahona (which will now be the standard magazine for adults) will be reduced to 48 pages, with digital supplementary content available as well. Not sure what that might mean for the General Conference editions in May and November, but those editions will likely be the exception to the new standard.
Likewise, where the New Era has had between 48-50 pages a month, For the Strength of Youth will be reduced to 32 pages. A similar reduction in pages is also anticipated for the Friend magazine. It will be interesting to see how things work with the new magazines. As I previously mentioned, it appears that the Church has expanded the number of individuals assigned as advisers to the Church magazines, which makes sense due to the upcoming changes.
I am grateful that the Church has again made an effort to correlatte, streamline, and unify Church materials on a global basis. The new magazines will surely be a blessing to all who will utilize the content therein. That does it for now. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as such comments are made in accordance with the established guidelines. Thank you for the privilege of your time. If you enjoyed what you read here and would like to stay informed of newly added content, please feel free to subscribe. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.
