We would like you to tell us: in what way should the magazine change? How should it look a few years from now? A look to the future is always a good time to remember the past. In late autumn, “Swiss Review” celebrates its 50-year anniversary (see page 22). The editorial team believe this calls for celebration in a way that includes our readers: we are combining participation in the readership survey with a prize draw. The gift table is replete with quintessentially Swiss prizes – exclusive items donated by Swiss companies: ■ A knife with sharp points reflecting Swiss alpine panoramas?
