Abstract
The readership of a national astronomy magazine addressing the amateur community is necessarily restricted to a small percentage of the general population. When the latter is significantly less numerous than that of a large world city, uses four national languages and is accordingly multicultural, the task of the editors becomes akin to tightrope-walking. Here we discuss the case of Orion,the journal of the Swiss Astronomical Society, that has survived for 59 years in such conditions, and so far in good health.
