Issue 2 of Southern Innovator Getting Final Edit | 7 March 2012

Having completed its review in New York, Southern Innovator‘s second issue is undergoing final tweaks and edits before being launched. There will be two versions: one online (the first to be launched) and a second print version to follow. Issue 2 – in its design and structure – is closer to the original vision of a magazine. Readers will find clearer signposting of resources, some new features and a greater mix of story lengths. Those who loved the clear and modern graphics of the first issue will not be disappointed: there is much more eye-catching graphic design in the second issue. I feel like the full vision of what we dreamed about back in 2010 has come to be. And I look forward to hearing back from readers on what they think about Issue 2, while we carry on with Issue 3 and its agricultural theme.

Issue 2 of Southern Innovator Magazine Finished | 6 February 2012

The second issue of Southern Innovator is laid out and awaiting final sign-off. This issue will have a few, significant changes which we hope will make the magazine more useful for readers. This includes a design more closely following a traditional magazine structure – a visual step-change from the first issue. Readers will also find more vivid colours throughout the magazine. An example is below:

The magazine is seeking partners to co-share the production costs. This is a rare opportunity to support a publication that has been called “Graphically beautiful & informative” and reaches a global audience. If interested, then contact southerninnovator@yahoo.co.uk.

Southern Innovator Goes to South-South Expo | 13 December 2011

Southern Innovator made its way to the annual Global South-South Development Expo (GSSD Expo), which was held this year in Rome, Italy and was hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. It was great to meet many of the people presenting their work at the Expo and to catch up with the team at the Special Unit for South-South Cooperation.

Southern Innovator Issue 1 called a "tour de force of what is interesting, cutting edge and relevant in the global mobile/ICT space..."
