"Join us to celebrate the launch of the FRONTLINE: A Broadsheet.
FRONTLINE: A BROADSHEET aims to be a high-quality, quarterly publication, in some ways radical; in others resurrecting traditions lost from the British market.
FRONTLINE will address major events and themes in international and domestic British politics, culture, conflict and lifestyle.
FRONTLINE will be political, but party-politically-allergic, irreverent and iconoclastic in equal measure.
FRONTLINE will offer international coverage in the best traditions of the Frontline Club and its membership, which includes some of the most esteemed reporters in the world.
FRONTLINE has been put together by a team of Club members whose work is entirely voluntary.
Annual subscription for £15 inc. postage. Please email broadsheet@frontlineclub.com for further inquiries."
