Launching any issue of our MilsatMagazine publication is an exercise in delight — the cooperation received from industry professionals, military commanders and government organizations is most appreciated — we relish the opportunity to learn something new each and every day, thanks to the informative articles, telephone calls, visits at trade shows, and press releases. The amazing factor is how well the MILSATCOM industry remains so flexible and viable, day after day, week after week, and month after month, to preserve and protect — a true testament to the creative approaches taken to product and marketing by various MILSATCOM market segments.
For your announcements, product photos are a marvelous value add — if sent with a press release, this saves our editorial staff time in attempting to locate the appropriate image for the story or the news release. Unfortunately, if too much time is required to locate an image, due to our daily deadlines, your company’s announcement will not have the graphic to enrich the presented information.
This also holds true when you forward information regarding personnel and/or executive team changes at your organization, company or command. If you could include a photograph of the individual(s) you are referencing, such would be of tremendous help in ensuring correct identities. Making corrections requires additional time at our end of the production cycle and, if a print issue, the correction may not be made due to the expense of a repeated print run. Additionally, if the targeted issue is also a PRINT issue (and this is very important!) — we must receive 300 dpi .jpg or .pdf files...
We hope you enjoy this particular issue, which offers some highly interesting expertise and insight into the MILSATCOM industry. We welcome your comments regarding the magazine and the SatNews daily news site... and we enjoy hearing from you regarding articles you would like to submit for publication. No one person can know everything about our industry, and if not for the expertise of professionals such as yourself, the stagnation would be staggering.
Here, also, is the MilsatMagazine calendar for 2010. The editorial department will publish articles of interest in each issue, regardless of that issue’s theme, if relevant to our thousands of international readers. “Themes” are guidelines for companies and authors who wish to introduce themselves to our readers. We heartily recommend you schedule your editorial space now...
