However, there’s even more company news that should be especially of value to our readers! Our publishing company’s creative director, Simon, has designed and created a complete magazine-on-a-website... no longer will you have to download a “.pdf” file to read MilsatMagazine or SatMagazine. Simon has created the code enabling our thousands of readers to approach and enjoy our publications ONLINE in magazine format. Incorporated into this online mix are easy to use navigation buttons that’ll have you cruising through feature articles, columns, news and more, quickly and easily. In fact, reading MilsatMagazine and SatMagazine is now similar to the way in which you’ve been reading our daily and weekly news at our news website.
We hope you enjoy the new online format and find the content stimulating, usable and pertinent to your work. Yes, you may continue to download the “.pdf”—we believe you will find the new online format extremely easy to use, but it is always nice to have a choice—you can also print and/or email each article directly from the webpage, or forward the “.pdf” to associates. Your comments are always welcome.
Additionally, I wish to again offer my “open door” policy… if you wish to write a feature article, an op-ed piece, a spotlight, suggest an interview, send news or company event information, please do so! Simply send an email to me so I may review your proposal and reply to you as soon as is possible. I would also be pleased to forward to any requestors our editorial calendar for 2008 as well as our author’s guidelines… and they are just that, guidelines. I look forward to hearing from you regarding that.
