Jim That BuySell.com seems to be the only real web presence for Nor'Westing. http://www.norwesting.com redirects there, and they do seem to have most of both Nor'Westing's and BoatJournal's articles from the past couple months: http://www.buysell.com/StaticPage/de...f.aspx?spp=137 -- ~/Garth (via Google) |

I wonder why they are flying so low under the radar? Jim It is common for these Regional magazine to have very limited exposure on the Internet. You normally see them being distributed for free at the local marina's, at the restaurants close to the water and boat stores. If you look at the Boat Journal web site, you can see where they distribute the magazine. The local mags I have seen try to have enough interesting articles to get you to pick up the mag so you will read the ads. If you are wondering if the magazine is a quality rag or a piece of **** you can ask the question directly in the NG. A number of people including JimH have made very favorable comments about the magazine. Heck, I would guess Chuck would send you a copy for free. -- Reggie That's my story and I am sticking to it! |

It has always been an informative and enjoyable read. |

I wonder why they are flying so low under the radar? Jim That's quite a convoluted corporate structure. It appears to be a holding company built upon other holding companies. BoatJournel and Nor'westing are listed as "partners" to Buysell.com which is a division of Classified Media Canada Holdings Inc. according to the website, which appears to be a division of or connected to something called Trader Classified Media. Trader Classified Media is a public company with stock sold on the French Euronext-Eurolist and is described on their website as follows: __________________________________________________ _____ "Trader Classified Media is a global leader in classified advertising, focusing on the categories of vehicles, real estate, employment and general household merchandise. The Company delivers services to its customers through the Internet, print, mobile technologies and direct mail. The Company produces 365 print titles,with 6 million readers per week, and hosts 40 websites, with more than 13 million unique monthly visitors (over 25 million unique monthly visitors including SouFun's traffic of 12 million unique monthly visitors). The Company was founded in 1987 and today employs 3,400 people in 13 countries". __________________________________________________ ________ There is a press release indicating that Trader Classified Media acquired BuySell Ltd in July of 2005. It's not clear if BoatJournel or Nor'westing are owned and/or controlled by Trader Classified Media or any of its subsidiaries or divisions. Trader Classified Media appears to be involved in the marketing of just about any product on earth. Maybe Chuck can provide some insight. Eisboch |

Reggi! I must be dumb as a post. I don't see any similarities between the 2 outfits. What did you have on your mind? I don't think it would be wise to jump to any conclusions on this issue. Things may not be as they seem to you. |

Trader Classified Media was sold a week or two ago the YPG Canada. YPG= Yellow Pages Group. I believe the transaction was a multi-billion dollar deal. Don't really expect that to change anything way down here on my level. If they decided that the magazine in general didn't fit an overall business plan, we are currently spinning off a lot of cash and profit and they would certainly sell the magazine for its substantial trademark value rather than just shut it down. (Ad revenues are up 400% since 2001, editorial content up by 100%, page count is 225% of what it was 4 years ago). I've survived two ownership changes already, and in each case the new owners have kept me in place and actually increased my responsibilities. But who knows? I do hope they don't insist that we begin printing on yellow paper. :-) |
