Notes from the
MRH Staff
Monthly not enough?
W
e get emails every so often from modelers ask-
ing us if we might consider producing a weekly
model railroading magazine, or going to a release
model that is just-in-time article-based rather than monthly
issue-based.
Let’s look at each of these ideas.
First, there’s the just-in-time article publishing suggestion.
The idea is to publish articles as they’re ready, rather than
wait to assemble them into a monthly collection of somewhat
unrelated articles like we do now with the magazine.
The modelers who suggest this like the idea of getting only
the articles they’re interested in, and getting them right away
instead of having to wait for a monthly issue to be released.
These modelers also like the idea of not needing to allocate
storage space for articles that don’t interest them.
While on the surface this might sound appealing, it’s just not
practical for our ad-funded-free-to-read publishing model.
