I hope you are ready to sit down for a really great read. We are proud to say that our expanded holiday edition of the Guardian Weekly is now headed your way.
At 64 pages, this 16 December edition is our blockbuster. It’s where we look at the year now ending, and gaze into 2017. It’s where we bring you perspective, analysis, opinion and deep reading meant to challenge, delight and connect you with the bigger picture.
2016 cries out for careful consideration. So Weekly has been working closely with the Guardian’s writers and editors around the globe to distil the essence of this year.
As you’d expect, we capture the turmoil and the trauma, the crisis and the conflict. From Brexit to Trump, from Aleppo to the South China Sea, from star-shots to the demise of globalisation, our bespoke coverage considers it all.
This edition gives us the opportunity to showcase some wonderful long-form journalism. You’ll find pieces that delve into the origins of political correctness, consider the power of photojournalism and roam wild across central Asia.
We bring you unsung heroes, a celebration of environmental gains (yes, there were some), exhibitions, amusements and, to wrap things up, one man’s joy at a bonus decade.
How will world events play out in 2017? Weekly won’t bring you guesswork. We will continue to rely on the energy, curiosity and expertise of our reporters, editors, opinion makers and feature writers in exploring and explaining world events. It promises to be a momentous year.
This expanded edition is our last before we take a short, well-earned break. The Guardian Weekly team will be back on the job just after Christmas, putting together your next edition, which will be dated 30 December.
But before that, there’s a surprise from the team. Please do watch this email newsletter space on 21 December for complete details!
In these changing days, we need news that is reported with accuracy and integrity, opinions that are well considered, facts we can trust. Look no further than Weekly to showcase what really matters. It is an honour to edit this newspaper, to collaborate with the intelligent, dedicated journalists on the GW team, and to work on your behalf in producing the best newspaper possible. Of course, any feedback is welcome. To send it, please click here.
The Guardian wants to make the world a better, fairer place. We want to keep the powerful honest. And we believe that doing so means informative, quality, independent journalism. Your support of the Guardian Weekly contributes to that work. Thank you.
If you mark a holiday at this time of year, I hope it is restful and contented. And thank you for your continued support of the Guardian Weekly.
