We actually have a staff of writers that produce about 80 pages of editorial in a typical 160-page issue. Our table of contents always includes about 20 original editorial items. Perhaps you have the pubication confused with typical regionals that are almost entirely advertising and normally offer only 6-10 editorial pieces. While it is standard practice in the industry to dress up press releases as content, we have no need to do so. Every one of our boat articles, for example, is the result of either an actual demonstration ride aboard the boat or at least a dockside walkthrough. We never represent that we have been underway in a boat if we have not been. (Sadly, that is not always the case in the boating magazine business). Running a press release simply assures that your content will be exactly the same as your closest lazy competitor's in any given month- not a sterling formula for success. We do runpress releases in the "news" section, sometimes. There's no point reconfiguring a concise list of USCG Aux or Power Squadron classes, for example. I'm off to the boat. If you're going out today, better hop to it. Must be almost 2PM back there....day's a wastin. I'll have to look for the mag on my next visit to the northwest. I tried finding it on the web, but was not too successful. |

When did you start letting Harry get to you? You never seemed to take him so seriously in the past. Besides, there are plenty of others here to give you a hard time, and most of us/them actually like reading your posts! Well, at least the first few paragraphs. ![]() |

Didn't your pub have some web presence at one time, or am I confusing your publisher with another shopper/trader organization? |

While there is a website built on the same architecture that supports some of the publisher's other ventures, there is no attempt made to keep it up to date editorially and anything there is "left over" from a few years ago. The architecture that supports some of the other ventures does not lend itself well to a publication based primarily on editorial. |
