Christian magazine publishers in developing countries now have access to more extensive training resources than ever before through Magazine Training International’s (MTI) new website, www.magazinetraining.com. The newly-launched site features a cleaner, more attractive design, enhanced search and navigation, and a members-only section.

Through the members-only section, users may access extensive archives of free eBooks, training videos, on-demand Webinars, and manuals in 13 languages.

“Hundreds of resources on MTI’s website are the result of 25 years of pursuing new ways to meet the training needs of international Christian magazine staff members, says Jolene Robinson, director of research and development for MTI. “The newly designed website makes these resources and training opportunities even more accessible to the diverse magazines we serve.”

The new website is optimized for mobile devices and has a simplified look with enhanced content that allows users to have a more positive online interaction with MTI. Visitors to the site can now search hundreds of free samples and training materials.

“In the last few years, MTI has worked to increase our online training opportunities,” says Robinson. “The new website is a key part of that initiative and is now a hub where Christian magazine publishers can build community, learn from the experience of others, and stay informed about trends in magazine publishing.”

The new www.magazinetraining.com allows for a calendar of training events, a forum for publishers to interact with each other, and a searchable directory of Christian magazines around the world.

Resources in other languages are available for free download, but English-language manuals and DVD courses are available for purchase in the new online store.
