Highlights of Reader’s Digest June 2019, issue: 
Sometime last year, when the decision was made to give Reader’s Digest a makeover, the aim was to give this timeless magazine a cleaner and bolder look, but steer clear of reinventing the wheel. To achieve this, our global designers fell back on a device from the 1950s—a frame that now surrounds each of our sections and departments—to create a style that “felt intelligent and approachable”, marrying our legacy charm with modern-day minimalism.

Our stories and columns follow suit. While all-time favourites—humour, Quotable Quotes, Drama in Real Life and Bonus Read—continue, fresh ones abound: Inspired by the extremely popular classic RD column, ‘I Am Joe’s Body’ comes a new series ‘I Am The Food On Your Plate’; ‘Memory Room’ captures heart-warming nostalgia on spaces; the richer, younger and more varied Culturescape offers the best in books, arts and entertainment and The Genius Section is a must-read for all ages.

Highlights of Reader’s Digest May 2019, issue: 
With democracy in peril everywhere around the world, it is now more important than ever to shake off our apathy and perform our duty by exercising our right to vote.

So this May, Reader’s Digest’s special cover story offers just that—19 key points about the Indian elections every citizen must know, an insightful interview with India’s top pollsters—Dr Prannoy Roy and Dorab R. Sopariwala—and a glossary of election terminology. 

This issue is filled with heartwarming stories too—A Dog to Heal Us, The Life of Letters, Kindness of Strangers and the Bonus Read ‘Bridge across the Sky’—an epic WWII saga about the Berlin airlift. Of course, there are the all-time favourites, Laughter the Best Medicine, Drama in Real Life, Word Power and more!
