RW anywhere
This is exciting news. For years, readers have asked me for online access to RW articles. We’ve posted highlights for years. But now the entire issue will be available to you.
Our digital edition benefits everyone. Now more readers can enjoy RW. Advertisers will reach a much broader population. Once again IMAS Publishing is taking a leadership role in serving this community.
RW’s sister publications Pro Audio Review, TV Technology and AudioMedia recently added digital editions; and the reaction from their readers has been great.
“I like the format and will soon be able to dispense with the hard copy,” one wrote. “Thanks again for moving ahead on this endeavor. You have my sincere congratulations.”
Another said, “I love the digital edition of the magazine! Since in this business it’s nice to see the advertisements too — I know that probably sounds crazy and hard to believe, but true at least for me — this digital edition is a nice way to get the magazine.” (Actually it’s not hard to believe; many readers tell me that our ads are one of the important reasons they subscribe, to stay informed about what’s on the market.)
This current issue of Radio World is accompanied by our big annual Source Book & Directory. You’ll find it included in the polybag in which this issue was mailed. Our Source Book, too, is now available online, which means you have an industry resource available at your keystrokes as well as your fingertips.
I welcome your comments about the new digital edition. Write to [email protected]. Here’s to a happy, profitable and safe 2007.
