[QuadList] NOW!- Broadcast Engineering to cease Some Notes and Publication bound and other

Notes and Nods  from the archivist's  desk - 
--------------------------------------------------------------

As  a young person  I would live to fill out   reader  service cards...  
from many  technical publications...
My distraught mother  used  to  gripe about  triaging   a 2 foot stack of  
mail some  days that   would arrive  at the house  some times day after 
day...  Heh!

Some of  the demise of  printed publications is the  Internet...   no 
longer  do we have to mail away  to get  information like  we  did  in the days 
of the read  service  cards....

No longer  do we have to make as many long distance calls    for  info..... 
  email... so  quick... so easy...

Writing a letter on paper!?  I have not  done that in   ages.

Commenting on _NewBay Media_ (http://www.newbaymedia.com/) ... seems  like 
they  have some many pubs they are tripping over them selves.... expect to 
see  this  thin  out  some.

TV Technology is  one of my favorites  we archive printed   copies of those 
too at the  museum. 

One of  my Wireless technology mags  just  went into the  NON  print  
domain...  available only electronically now...

EXTRA MAGS -  TRADE OR?
=========================

One of the GRAND OLE MAGS  was  McGraw Hill's   ELECTRONICS   we have a 
wonderful bound set of them  at the museum. we  are also  going to have some  
spare  bound  issues   for  trade that are  duplicate

Have Duplicate Bound  BSTJs   ( Bell System Technical  Journals)  BOUND 
wide cross section of  dates plus and extra   full bound  set.  also  have   
loose  separate  issues that  are  duplicate.

Have  Duplicate  RCA REVIEW ...  some  extras   are  bound  some are  loose

Have extra  RCA BROADCAST NEWS  various issues and  quite  a  few  extra.

will have  some  extra  RADIO NEWS (  from the  20s  forward)

will have  some duplicate loose and bound  early    FORTUNE MAGAZINE ( a 
great insight into the time America  was on  top of it all) 

There  you  go for  folks that love it on paper  this  stuff is  amazing!

I've e-mailed BE's long-time editor Brad Dick to ask whether the 
_broadcastengineering.com_ (http://broadcastengineering.com/)  website  will stay up 
as an archive of all the work produced since it went  on-line. 

In addition to the website at _http://broadcastengineering.com_ 
(http://broadcastengineering.com/) ,

there are back-issues of the print product:
http://broadcastengineering.com/magazine-issues/broadcast-engineering

BE is/was a publication of _Penton_ 
(http://penton.com/AboutUs/AboutPenton/tabid/57/Default.aspx) ,  based in NYC. BE appears to be Penton's _only 
publication in  the digital media/broadcast field_ 
(http://penton.com/OurMarkets/tabid/56/Default.aspx) , so it would seem the company is exiting  that 
market.

That leaves few print or online resources that specifically target  
broadcasters from a technical perspective.

The one that immediately comes to mind is _NewBay  Media_ 
(http://www.newbaymedia.com/) 's _TV Technology_ (http://www.tvtechnology.com/index) , where 
QuadList  member James O'Neal is Technology Editor.

NewBay has a raft of publications aimed at electronic media, including  the 
venerable _Broadcasting & Cable_ (http://www.broadcastingcable.com/) ,  
which was the other magazine that I think a lot of us pored over, even at an  
early age... to see where jobs were, who sold or bought what stations, and  
keep up with news that went beyond the strictly technical side of the  
business.

The magazine publishing business has seen a lot of changes in the last 20  
years, as publications were sold and re-sold.  Broadcasting is one of  them 
that went from the founder's hands back when I first started reading it  in 
the mid-60s through a succession of owners.

Seems like that's happened to a lot of Icons in the media industry,  
including the three original Alphabet Nets.

Hope you're all having a good Sunday.

I  agree:

BE was what  piqued my interest in all things electronic.  I also first 
discovered  the magazine in the 1960's.  It's what brought me first into the 
radio  business and then into TV.  While other mags have come and gone, I have 
 always had a special fondness for Broadcast Engineering.  I never  
abandoned them, and have been a subscriber continuously since the early  '70's.  I 
will forever hold on to the October 2013 copy I have right in  front of me: 
The last published edition of Broadcast Engineering.  Thanks, old friend.  
You've served us well.
