Evangelicals Now is unveiling a new, expanded state-of-the-art website which will be updated more regularly than currently – and is also announcing changes in its pricing.
The new-look online experience – viewable at the same web address of www.e-n.org.uk – will continue to carry all the usual monthly content, but with the added bonus of numerous new writers and extra pieces.
And instead of just being updated once a month, as has been the practice in the past, the revamped website will carry fresh items several times a week.
At the same time, en has announced that after holding its subscription prices since early 2022, it believes it is wise stewardship to reflect increasing production costs with changes in the cost of the monthly print newspaper and annual subscriptions.
The new website contains a host of new features. en’s assistant editor (digital, media and marketing) Milla Ling-Davies said: ‘This is an exciting step forward for Evangelicals Now. While our theological basis and ethos remain unchanged, it is time to advance our technological offering online, as this is the way most people now access news media.
‘This new website offers, among other things, new features such as the ability to scroll through years of past and present en articles, browse by topic, and save your favourite reads. It has a much more user-friendly feel and modern design – print subscribers can even flick through a digital version of the print paper.’
en’s board chairman, Joel Morris, who is Executive Director of Union School of Theology, said: ‘When I was appointed I made it clear that I did not want to be a “place-holder” as chair, but to oversee an active, dynamic process of change to enable en to grow and serve faithfully in the future.’
en Senior Editor David Baker said: ‘We have a fantastic team of people who have worked tremendously hard over many months to plan and develop this exciting new website, and we are hugely appreciative of all the work they have done.’
From the September issue, the cover price of the monthly print newspaper where it is sold in bookshops will be £2, and the annual combined print and online UK subscription has increased to £30.
Baker said: ‘These prices are still well below what many other newspapers and magazines charge, and we believe they represent amazing value. If you walk into a typical High Street coffee shop you are likely to pay £3 or £4, if not more, for a cappuccino each and every time – whereas en can be read in print and online for less than that per month even with these price rises.’
He added: ‘Can I also make a gentle plea with a twinkle in my eye? We love the fact that so many en readers enjoy it so much they share it with others – but if each reader who passed on a copy to a friend currently bought them a year’s gift subscription instead, that would really help support en’s ministry and future even more. Thank you!
'Please pray for us too, in the many complex editorial decisions we sometimes face, that we honour Christ and are kept by Him in the centre of His will.’
