ADVANCE Perspective: Speech & Audiology

In Print or Online? It's Up to You.

Published January 4, 2013 10:54 AM by Guest Blogger

Last week, Newsweek published its final print issue. As a magazine enthusiast (I subscribe to many, I've studied them, and I work for one), I was saddened to hear the news. I remember a time when finding one of my favorite magazines in the mail meant I would be sitting on the couch for the rest of the night to read it from cover to cover.

But times change, and the reality is more and more publications are moving away from print formats and going online only. There are various reasons for this, including readers' preferences. Many don't want to carry around stacks of paper, and enjoy being able to read all of their favorite articles right from their laptop, tablet or smartphone.

I have to admit that I no longer subscribe our local paper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, because it's more convenient and less expensive to read it online. Luckily, your subscription to ADVANCE has always been and always will be free. And you still have your choice of reading the traditional paper version or our digital edition.

To make sure it keeps coming (either to your mailbox or inbox), please update your contact information on an annual basis here.

And let us know. How do you read ADVANCE? Online only? Print and a little web?

Our local newspaper recently decreased from 7 days a week to 3 days a week citing that info is on their website. However, I'm a bit "old school". I like the feel of a book in my hand (no Kindle or Nook for me!). I enjoy reading the morning paper while I'm eating breakfast (vs. reading it on an iPad).  Same with Advance. I still subscribe to several magazines. I find that for publications that are no longer available in print, I NEVER have the time to go online and read them.

Please please continue to print and mail Advance Magazine.

I'm tired of always having to sit in front of the computer, and I am

sensitive to EMF so get fatigue from sitting too long at the computer.

I truly appreciate you continuing the printed version!  Don't be like

Newsweek magazine!!

Thanks!
