Hi Darren, What you say is true to a point, but I blame the editor for that. The publication and distribution of the magazine is suppose to be the editors job, and perhaps we simply need a new editor who will do more than put the magazine together. He or she will need to offer the magazine in more formats besides text such as formatted in HTML and get in touch with more blind organizations etc to see if they will redistribute the magazine to their customers.
However, I disagree with you that exposure was the only goal or aim of the Audyssey Magazine. As I said in my prior post not everyone in our community hangs around on the list or the forum on a regular basis. Plenty of them would be happy just to get a monthly, bimonthly, or quarterly summary of what is going on in our community without requiring day to day contact without either. Also the older magazines offered extras such as Adam the Immortal Gamer, game reviews, and sometimes interviews that were not available on the list or forum. All points to revive the magazine and breath new life into it. Cheers! On 10/29/13, Darren Harris <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm not even sure it's worth having the mag now.
