Message from the Editors of Nature Photographer magazine

In the 2020s the print world collided with the digital world. With digital information free and available at people's fingertips, interest in print magazines began to wane.

Nature Photographer's subscriber base held steady for a while. However, the perfect storm began to build as little by little there were fewer subscribers and printing and shipping costs increased.

To our loyal subscribers we want to say thank you for your renewals year after year. Your support has been vital to the magazine. Also, thank you to the subscribers who have given additional financial gifts to the magazine.

Thank you to the Field Contributors and Editors for your support and for the informative articles and stunning photographs that you have submitted for publication over the years.

We appreciate everyone who participated in the Special Edition Section of the magazine.

Thank you to everyone who gave the magazine extra financial gifts.

However, the income for each of the last three issues has been $3,500 less than the printing and mailing costs. To keep the magazine in print, Helen and Marty have personally paid the shortfall that totaled $10,500 for the three issues. We cannot continue to personally pay these costs, so we are forced to make a change. We will continue to produce the magazine, but it will be in digital format. The digital magazines will be FREE to download here.

The first digital magazine will be available in mid to late February. You can access the download at this Nature Photographer website: https://www.naturephotographermag.com
