We regret to advise that after 86 wonderful years, Reader's Digest UK has ceased to print the monthly magazine with immediate effect. Our editor-in-chief has shared a heartfelt tribute to our cherished readers.
Dear Readers,
It
is with a heavy heart that we share the news of Reader's Digest UK coming to a
close. This magazine carries a profound legacy, holding special memories for so
many—whether it adorned our parents’ coffee tables or served as a gateway to the English
language for those abroad. Its closure marks the end of an era that is deeply
felt.
To every subscriber, I extend my heartfelt thanks for
your unwavering support, loyalty, and encouragement throughout the years. Your
letters, poems, essays
and photographs have filled our pages with life and heart. Each story
shared has woven a beautiful tapestry of human experiences, connecting us all
in profound ways.
During my eight-year journey with this publication, serving as editor for
the past six
years has been a true honour and joy. I am grateful for the opportunity to have led such a
cherished magazine and to have been a part of your lives through its pages.
While this chapter may close, I am comforted by the
belief that the spirit of Reader's Digest will endure in our memories and
within the rich archives spanning nearly a century. As we bid farewell to this
beloved publication, I want to express my deepest gratitude for allowing us to
be part of your lives and homes.
Sincerely,
Editor-in-chief
