Sign of the times....

I just received my copy of Wildlife in NC and was surprised to read the editorial stating that they were cutting the number of issues from 12  to 6 per year due to declining readership and budget cuts. Also mentioned was the addition of two 'Special Issues", Spring and Fall which would contain advertisements and only be available with annual subscriptions.

There was also mention of "digital" subscriptions in the future. I would really hate it if they stopped printing and if was only going to be available on-line.  I've been getting the magazine for 18 years now and throughly enjoy it, especially due to the fact that there are no ads. I would think that if they are going to have advertisementsts in the special issues, those should be sold to the public too!

I guess having to pay Marty for those trout articles broke the bank.

Try being a musician, getting a recording contract, and selling CD's these days, Keith. The music business is a dead horse.
Everyone expects to download your music online for free. There's Very Little Money in that.
