Exactly one year. And we've never allowed ourselves the luxury of liking ourselves.

WRITTEN BY THE EDITORIAL TEAM ON PRESS RELEASE

According to the statistics, we went twelve months without ever seeking consensus. We wrote, drew, thought—not to please, but to disturb. We excluded, selected, refined. We said no, more times than we said yes. And every no was an editorial act.

Isla Media wasn't created to be loved. It was created to be needed. For those who aren't satisfied, for those who don't adapt, for those who don't give up.

We've seen thousands of readers arrive silently. Some curious, others confused, few truly ready. We've opened the doors, but we haven't flung them open. We asked for intention, not attention. We asked for time, not clicks.

Yet you remained. Not all of you. But those who matter. Those who read between the lines, who aren't offended by shadows, who seek fractures rather than validation.

To you—not a thank you, but an acknowledgment. You endured with us. You accepted the slowness, the density, the lack of comfort. You understood that here we don't consume, we contemplate. That here we don't belong, we participate.

We've closed out the first year. Not with balance sheets, but with marbles. The ones that roll across the table, among the vials and papers, in that image that represents us: a laboratory, not a showcase.

The second year will no longer be more indulgent. It will be more precise, more demanding, more emblematic. Fewer words, more signs. Less audience, more presence.

Those who stay do so by choice. Those who arrive do so out of necessity. Those who leave do so out of consistency.

Isla Media isn't for everyone. But it's for those who have no more time to waste.

Interpretative reading

1–2. Homepage and registration

• The very high traffic on these two pages indicates a strong general and identity-based in Isla Media.

• The registration page has almost the same number of visits as the homepage: a sign that access to restricted content is perceived as valuable .

• The selective process described in the recording (logical sorting, exclusion of temporary emails) reinforces the idea of ​​radical selectivity and editorial curation .

3. Foucault and disciplinary power

• The essay on Discipline and Punish is the most read among the articles: it confirms that reflections on control and surveillance are central to Isla's audience.

• Panopticism, the spatialization of power, and the critique of digital surveillance resonate with current events and the magazine's ethical stance.

4–5. Art and inclusion as tools of resistance

• The article on art as denunciation and the one on inclusion show that provocation and social justice are hot topics.

• The public seeks content that combines aesthetics and ethics , and that offers models of concrete transformation .

6. Danny Khezzar

• The profile of a young chef and artist suggests that pop culture and creative cross-pollination attract readers, provided they are approached with depth.

7. School and citizenship

• The editorial on school as a place of transformation from subjects to aware citizens is an educational manifesto: education as a political act .

8. Press release

• Press releases are followed, but less so than editorial content: a sign that the community prioritizes critical thinking over institutional communication .

9–10. Ethics, law, recognition

• Articles on obligation/duty and tolerance/recognition close the top 10, but with significant numbers: philosophical and moral reflection has a loyal , albeit more selective, audience.

Strategic conclusions

• Isla Media is not just visited: it is inhabited by readers seeking meaning, depth and provocation .

• The most read content confirms that philosophy, art as resistance, and the pedagogy of inclusion are the strongest editorial pillars.

• Mass registration indicates that the promise of confidential content is effective , but must be managed consistently and rigorously.
