Thanks for news carried by Happyzine. Sorry for delay in joining. I have to admit the dateline was a prompt. I can see Paul liking hard copy, but personally, I don’t want any more paper coming through. Already buried by print. Emails hard enough to keep up with. Also, print would be another area of work. I’m for simplicity in production and distribution. Focus on the news gathering and sifting. Cheers,
Betty

Hi Happyzine
I feel for you and your situation. I think what you do is needed in society today to balance the mass media machine but I do think you need to put something in print to get enough people to pay for the service. I know there are many drawbacks for doing this especially environment and cost, but I think it’s what people would be willing to fork out for. There is so much free access to news online these days why pay for another form of it?
I subscribe to Positive News UK (where I’m based) it’s a quarterly publication and even though I have access to the internet version there is something very satisfying about holding a paper and reading all this good stuff, then leave around for other people to read, pass on or pick up again later to reread. Something I’m willing to pay $15 for a quarterly publication.
I may just be old fashioned but this paper has been very successful.

Just a thought
Good luck
Paul
