How to navigate to the magazine?

Call me dense....but it's my first time attempting to read one of the monthly magazines, yet I cannot find a link to bring me to the actual magazine! All I see is the page with the bulleted list of topics.

This is the editor's intro, not an index

Hi Semaphore, this is the editor's intro as you may have seen in printed magazine's as well. It's not an index and it's not a category view, it's an intro and a thank-you article (you may have noticed that the author's names and the participant's names are also not linked).

Right next to this article - or below it if you're on mobile - you'll find the clickable list. Also the month name above the article (in this case March links to the article overview. For now we're not going to link the articles in the intro.

What is the downside of linking ?

A magazin intro ? I 'm on a website not on a paper : we have link on web ;-)
What is the downside of linking ? I can see in other comment I'm not the only one about this.
For now the UX journeyis : we click on the "intro article" we see articles, we check on the right which don't list all article so we have to click on the "view all" blink and we land on a veeeeeery long page with all articles wich need a loooot of scrolling.
As a UX designer I really can't see where is the downside of adding links.

Solution for navigating magazines

I figured out that the magazine is using {month}-{YY} categories. So, I checked if it can list all categories at /categories. And here we go, surprisingly it's very much organised though. It would be nice if we could have this link in the sidebar for quick access.
