Coming soon: HCN on glossy toilet paper

Document Actions

As I read Ray Ring's words on what is the right format for HCN, I began to ponder that the correct mix is the mix that keeps you and your staff energized (HCN, 7/19/10). Without an engaged editor and staff, the publication will wilt. The rest is just packaging that can be adjusted. Sources of in-depth coverage on any subject are few and far between these days, and coverage of the issues dear to the West is slimmer still. Publish on toilet paper or full-size glossy, but keep the fires burning. It would be a tragedy to lose another ray of light because the cosmetics of the rag didn't please everyone.

Chosen by Wyoming Sometimes it seems like everybody is retiring and moving to Florida, but some of us die-hard Westerners are determined to stay, despite Wyoming’s harsh winters.
