NederlandsONLINE MAGAZINES
Build an online magazine around a story worth reading.
You may already have interviews, articles, images or a previous issue. The task is to turn them into a coherent magazine people can read across screens. Start with one reader, one theme and a focused contents list. You can then explore an online issue without inventing an entire publication programme first.
- Work from existing editorial material
- Give readers a clear path
- Explore a first issue yourself
(YOUR FIRST ISSUE)
Turn separate pieces into one readable edition.
- (01)
Choose the reader and the question
Define who this issue serves and what they should understand afterwards. A member magazine, customer magazine and internal magazine make different editorial choices. Give the first issue one clear purpose.
- (02)
Select what you already have
Review interviews, articles, images and references. Check whether they are current, whether you have the rights to use them and whether the copy works outside its original PDF. Leave out material that does not serve the reader.
- (03)
Build a contents path
Lead with a strong story, then add a few sections that deepen the theme or offer another voice. Order the material around what readers want to discover, not the order in which files were delivered.
- (04)
Build and check a short issue
Use the self-service environment to explore a limited first issue. Check headings, image rights, links and the reading path on a phone and desktop before planning the next edition.
(CHOOSE THE RIGHT FORMAT)
When does a magazine make sense?
A magazine fits
You have several stories connected by one theme or community.
Readers should be free to explore and return later.
Editorial order, imagery and context help make sense of the content.
Another format may fit better
One announcement may belong on a web page or in a newsletter.
A formal, fixed document may still need a PDF.
Transactions and membership administration belong elsewhere.
One possible structure for a first issue.
- (01)
The lead story
Explain why the theme matters to this reader now.
- (02)
Another voice
Include an interview that deepens or challenges the lead.
- (03)
Practical depth
Give readers something they can use after the story.
- (04)
A clear next step
Point to where the reader can continue, inside or outside the issue.

(GETTING STARTED)
Questions about your first online magazine
First issue
No. A small selection of existing material can help you explore the structure and reading path. Publish only after checking the content, rights and links.
No. Text and images may be useful sources, but an online issue needs its own structure for screens. Allow time for editing, image selection and review.
A newsletter sends an update to recipients. A magazine brings related stories together in a destination readers can explore. A newsletter can direct people to an issue; Greenzeen does not replace email distribution.
