Updated April 1, 2026: Three communes have confirmed online magazines. Bruxelles-Ville and Auderghem archives are now downloaded. Schaerbeek confirmed using Issuu (issue 435). Woluwe-Saint-Lambert has "Wolu Info" (archives found). Ganshoren has "Ganshoren Info" but no direct PDF found.

Research Methodology & Limitations
Approach Used:
- Direct website access via web_fetch tool
- Standard domain patterns (.be, .brussels) tested
- Publication-specific URL patterns attempted
Limitations Encountered:
- Web search API unavailable (requires Brave API key)
- Multiple commune websites using non-standard domain configurations
- Some sites showing accessibility issues or domain parking
- Publications sections not easily discoverable on accessible sites
Recommended Next Steps:
- Configure web search API access for comprehensive research
- Research alternative domain patterns for inaccessible communes
- Contact commune administrations directly for publication information
- Check social media platforms where magazines might be announced
- Investigate if some communes use shared platforms like Calameo for all publications
Common Publishing Platforms Identified
- Calameo: Used by Uccle for Wolvendael Magazine (digital flipbook format)
- Official websites: Standard approach but requires locating specific publications sections
