Our big news this week is the launch of the redesigned BMJ (in paper anyway—the new bmj.com website debuts in two weeks). The changes are not just cosmetic; we've added departments and features as well. Here's a brief overview.

Much of the journal will be familiar. Every issue will be anchored by original research articles. We still have editorials up front, some commenting on research articles, others free-standing. Letters, Minerva, and obituaries, love them or hate them, continue just as before. But we've beefed up the news and commentary sections, publishing extended news features and adding a raft of commentators, reviewers, and columnists. Our aim is to inform, provoke, amuse, and even outrage readers. Education is also a focus, with a Practice section that includes clinical reviews, excerpts from BMJ's popular masterclasses and bmjlearning, head-to-head clinical debates, and helpful summaries of important articles from other leading general medical journals.
