Prospect has a new website!

Out now: our August edition

As our online readers will already have noticed, today marks the first day of Prospect‘s new-look website, which integrates our blog and magazine content, and generally offers hugely improved performance (and a better reading experience all round) to both our online visitors and regular readers. To those of you who found this via our old blog url, simply click on “home” on the menu above—or click the link if you’re reading this via RSS—to browse the magazine’s new main page online. And click on “blog,” naturally enough, to get the whole blog page, including our new sidebars and other delights.

A number of features will become available over the next week as we work to bring the whole archive up-to-date online. Existing subscribers, and blog readers, can log in as normal with their email addresses and passwords. Those with magazine or online subscriptions can of course read our entire archive and current issue as normal: others will find content being released regularly through the month.

We hope you enjoy the new look—and that you’ll feel free to share your thoughts and comments as we bring it up to full functionality. And we hope, of course, that you’ll continue to enjoy and comment on our current issue online.

YOU’VE HIT THE LIMIT

You have now reached your limit of 3 free articles in the last 30 days.
But don’t worry! You can get another 7 articles absolutely free, simply by entering your email address in the box below.

When you register we’ll also send you a free e-book—Writing with punch—which includes some of the finest writing from our archive of 22 years. And we’ll also send you a weekly newsletter with the best new ideas in politics and philosophy of culture, which you can of course unsubscribe from at any time

Prospect may process your personal information for our legitimate business purposes, to provide you with our newsletter, subscription offers and other relevant information.

The first thing I always look forward to in a new month on the Prospect website is your front page cartoons; hilarious, brilliant and insightful. However, tragedy! Where are they on your 'new improved' website? Please bring them back. They are wonderful light relief before plunging into the hard realities of the Prospect articles.

Seem to be quite a few bugs still in there at present - am about to give up trying to buy a gift subscription for my dad!

Vince is not alone. I too arrived here on a cartoon hunting mission. Please don't under-estimate the power of your cartoons to drive traffic (and new readers) to your site. And if your cartoonists are short on inspiration around the dire topic of Digital Britain see the (French) cartoon I used to illustrate a story on infrastructure inadequacies. www.groupe-intellex.com/projects/19-broadband/180-dodgy-connections-in-narrowband-britain.html

I like the new clean look. (Are you running Wordpress?) I also like the tags at the end of the articles. I used to enjoy reading through a category of articles in the old website and wondered whether you were thinking of having a tag cloud or some other way to replicate the old functionality.

Hi all - i work at the magazine. Vince / David — cartoons will be back soon, we are working on it. Our "cartoon of the day" feature will be on the blog. Roy — can you say what the problem was with the subscription service? We'd appreciate it. Luis - we have an issue with the tagging clouds at the moment, but hope to have that working soon. James

Hello James Can you tell me how to download the pdf version of the magazine. I can't find the link on the new web-site.

Dear Michael, This is a feature of the website that won't be online for another week, unfortunately: any subscriber who would like a pdf copy of the magazine in the meantime is welcome to email us and we'll be very happy to send one over. Tom
