BBC Wildlife Magazine has undergone a total revamp for its June issue. The magazine has a new masthead, as well as an environmentally friendly varnished front page to enhance the quality of the cover image. Editor Rosamund Kidman Cox says: “The look of the magazine is very important – that conveys the beauty of the subject matter we’re dealing with.
“The design is simpler and cleaner and makes more use of the wonderful photographs that we have access to. Equally, we take pride in the quality of the writing and editing.” Kidman Cox has also introduced monthly pocket guides – the first edition looks at garden creatures.
Other new features include “Natural Choice”, an ethical consumer guide and “Inquiry”, a question and answer overview piece about topical issues. Mark Carwardine, a wildlife writer and presenter, will contribute a column on conservation issues and BBC environment correspondent Alex Kirby will write a news overview.
