Редакционный контент представлен всеми журналистскими жанрами – новостями, обзорами (книги, фильмы, диски, интернет, телевидение), репортажами, очерками, аналитическими статьями, публикациями фрагментов готовящихся к печати книг лучших отечественных и зарубежных авторов. Наш читатель – человек достаточно молодой, но не обязательно телом :-). Мы представляем его 20–40-летним, образованным, но ищущим новых знаний. Он не беден и неплохо «продвинулся» в культуре быта, но ощущает недостаток в сведениях о мировой культуре и цивилизации.
