So that was September…a month that observed International Peace Day, International Day of Older Persons, World Vegetarian Day, International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, World Suicide Prevention Day, International Literacy Day, Talk Like a Pirate Day and the first month of Ovi as a daily online magazine, which also observed all of those days.

In a mere thirty days, we covered political stories like the anniversary of the Babi Yar massacre, Turkey and the European Union, Finland and strikes, the Somalian coup, Sweden’s election and Iran. Paedophilia, American visas, the Pope, Tony Blair, Natascha Kampusch, an interview with an Israeli teacher, Mao, Tarja Halonen, bin Laden and Ali Ahmad Said Asbar all appeared in our iFormat section throughout September.

Politics is just one facet of our daily magazine. Our team have written about guns, forest life, happiness, power, flying, skydiving for cancer, science, immigration, junk, junk food, litter, Koskenkorva, King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV and the Olympic spirit, which is quite an eclectic list for any magazine.

Walt Disney World, Mozart, museums, Elif Shafak, name etiquette, French cafés, Greek higher education, Nikos Kazantzakis, 9-11 poetry, TV licence fees, quizzes and audio comedy reflect the cultural and social feel of Ovi, while the columns, Jane of Thought, Rob Jenkinson's Letters from America, I Spy, iBite, Sofia's Letters from London, provide a taste of our global coverage.

Literature, such as Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island and Jean-Claude Carrière's Please, Mr Einstein have each been under the microscope, and cinematic offerings of The Sentinel, Indigènes and Miami Vice have also been reviewed.

Along with the articles, there are cartoons, such as The Worms making Family in English and Greek, Foreign Bird in Helsinki, R.I.P., including the Dracula, Dino & Anty, 2nd Opinion and Life Undercover, plus a weekly podcast.

September was a busy first month, so just wait to see what we do throughout October now we are getting into our stride…
