Magazine Overview
Title: Intern
Issue: 1
Volume: 1
Date: 1978
Publisher: Fremmedvitenskapelig Informasjon
This is the inaugural issue of 'Intern', a membership magazine intended to serve as a communication channel for members of 'Fremmedvitenskapelig Informasjon' (FI). The magazine's creation was delayed due to a 'relentless holiday season', and its initial page count is limited by economic constraints. The editorial team aims to make 'Intern' accessible and engaging, particularly for younger members, by incorporating illustrations and images to accompany the text.
Editorial Stance and Content
The magazine emphasizes the importance of UFO reports and encourages members to submit their experiences, even if they have not been officially reported. It also welcomes diverse perspectives, including theories, questions, and comments, with the intention of publishing them, except for UFO reports where only those of significant interest will be selected. The editors prefer typed manuscripts and black and white photographs for submission, requesting that any materials submitted for return be clearly marked.
Key Articles and Features
Nordic UFO Meeting (Nordisk UFOMØTE)
A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to the Nordic UFO meeting held in Tønsberg during Pentecost 1978. This event brought together eight organizations, with Norsk UFO Center (NUFOC) serving as the organizer. The primary outcome of the meeting was the formation of 'Nordic UFO Groups' (NUG), a collaborative effort aimed at fostering cooperation among UFO organizations in Scandinavia. The meeting is described as a success, providing opportunities for discussion, networking, and 'UFOlogical entertainment', including film screenings and the observation of a UFO through a telescope.
Information Dissemination
The magazine highlights the critical role of information within FI. It addresses member inquiries about how they can contribute, stating that information gathering is a top priority. However, economic limitations currently hinder the expansion of information-related activities and field research. The issue also mentions that illustrations, such as those depicting the structure of the universe, are used to simplify complex information.
Presentations
'Intern' announces its intention to introduce its editorial team and other key personnel in future issues, including illustrators, librarians, editors, and district leaders. It also plans to present individuals involved in the Nordic UFO Groups.
Membership and Subscription
'Intern' is exclusively a membership magazine and cannot be purchased individually. To receive the entire year's issues, individuals must pay the full annual membership fee.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The magazine's stance is one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena, encouraging member participation and the sharing of information and experiences. There is a clear emphasis on building a community and fostering cooperation among Scandinavian UFO organizations. While acknowledging the role of humor, the editorial focus remains on serious investigation and information dissemination rather than lighthearted content. The economic realities of publishing are also a recurring theme, influencing the scope and content of the magazine.
