PLAIN TRUTH Launches News Column

Editor in Chief Herbert W. Armstrong often refers to The PLAIN TRUTH as a newsmagazine. To further expand the magazine's news appeal, Mr. Armstrong approved reinstating a news column in The PLAIN TRUTH beginning with the January, 1985 issue.

The new column, titled "News Overview," will cover trends or significant events in business, finance, science, technology and education, and update readers on environmental and social concerns.

Our society is in a hurry. Articles in The PLAIN TRUTH compete for an individual's time. These short, piquant articles will often direct readers to full-length articles on the same subject within the magazine or in a future issue.

Research and ideas will be contributed by the regional offices around the world as well as the Editorial Services staff in Pasadena. The field ministry, especially those of you in the international areas, can assist by keeping Editorial Services abreast of significant events and trends in your areas. Keep in mind that "significant" means the event or trend is of broad regional or international importance — something that can be used as a positive or negative example to inform our readers about today's world conditions.

"News Overview" will make The PLAIN TRUTH even more quotable and should help strengthen the international appeal of the magazine.
