I have a computer and I still want a PRINTED magazine. OTOH I don't dream of not having a printed magazine. That would be a nightmare!
Would you advise me on just what all this printed and digital stuff is used for if MA is the communication vehicle?
AMA Insider / AMA Today / Sport Aviator / Cloud 9
Is that why AMA has twice as many people doing media as taking care of membership?
That is great Hossfly. I am happy that you want the magazine and communication from AMA.
Those are other forms of communication to our members of which are digital. This is a step forward to the digital age.
It takes a lot of effort to keep forms of communication flowing. Nothing more really needs to be said about that.

What ''propaganda'' did not make the magazine? My columns were always there. Unfortunately, IMO, the space allotted is insufficient to really do any good for establishing a significant base for a national candidate. JimJ, you're disappointing my faith in you as you don't seem to get your thoughts together for an accurate dissemination.

Tim,
if you really considered MA to be there for getting important info to the members,
ask former Executive Councilman Hossfly
about candidate statements taking a back seat to providing enough room for the ads in our 'newsletter'.
We limit the candidates rather than the fluff and ads,
is that really what you envisioned as a core activity to the org?
Evidently your buddy kiDePoxY is running around half cocked?
So you only want to run your propaganda in the magazine? You don’t plan to visit club meetings, fields and other functions to gain support for your vote? There is only so much room for printed media. Don’t forget to ask to have your propaganda printed in the other forms of communication which are digital. It takes a lot of money to run for a position. I can only hope you are willing to go out to events and visit people and get your hands dirty. Otherwise you are just wasting your time and effort.

Well, TimJ, you do recognize one thing. MA, for certain, does NOT make a profit. [:'(] Unfortunately you are not up-to-date on the accounting of AMA/MA. Advertising only pays for the production of the advertising. The other part comes from your, mine, and all members' pockets. [

It is obvious in this statement above that you have NOT reviewed the AMA financials. If you had, you would know that the ad revenue is pretty close to making the magazine self-sufficient .
