OK folks here is the info on the new UST ST magazine
ST JOURNAL
It is a monthly magazine directoed towards application and utility
programs. The Premier issue willbe shipped to major booksellers by
the second week in March with a cover date of April 1990. ST JOURNAL
will sell for $3.95, but if you want to get the premier issue directly
from the publishers, you can mail a check for $5.00 to ST JOURNAL at the
address below. ST JOURNAL is actively searching for contributors, so if
you think that you have an expertise in the ST that others could use then
contact ST JOURNAL. ST JOURNAL is being published by QUILL PUBLISHING.
I have just spoken with Tim Lewis who is the Editorial Director of ST JOURNAL.
Tim has the philosophy that ST JOURNAL should be a magazine "by the people,
for the people" and wants it to be responsive to the reader's needs. Tim has
indicated that he will have a regular column spot lighting a different ST Club
each month. The first two columns will be devoted to an interview with Bob
Brodie, User Group Coordinator. Tim interviewed Bob Brodie at the Winter NAMM
show last year. Tim also wants submissions from ST Club with your club's banner
or logo. Sounds like an interesting idea.
One final plea, if you are an ST vendor, please consider advertising in
ST JOURNAL. This magazine, like most, wilve succeed or fail based upon
advertiser revenues. With the failure of ST APPLICATIONS, ANALOG, ST LOG,
and ST EXPRESS in recent months (years?) we need to support any new ST
magazine brave enough to start publishing.
ST JOURNAL
113 W. College St.
Covina, CA 91723
(818) 332-0372
P.S. I am in no way associated with ST JOURNAL. I hope that this does not
come across as a sales ad for ST JOURNAL, but I miss ST LOG, and I am hopeful
that ST JOURNAL will fill the void left by the demise of the many ST mags of
past years. This are just personal opinions. Take them for what they cost you. :-)

I have heard this magazine is packed with reviews. I haven't seen it in any bookstore here yet. Has anyone one read a copy? What do you think of it?

What do - you think of it? I've seen a couple issues at a local bookstore. My local dealer doesn't have it though, which is surprising. It's glossy inside and out. Pretty thick. I don't remember seeing that many reviews in it. I did see a lot of nice ads that I didn't see in STart or ST Informer. What I also did see was a lot of commentary from big names in the ST world. The strange thing is that these commentaries are reprinted in ZNET almost every issue. So, instead of reading them in a glossy, I can read them on my ST. Since ST Journal comes out quarterly and ZNET weekly, I think ZNET reprints most if not all of them before the next ST Journal is out. -- Ed Krimen ............................................... ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico ||| INTERNET: ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu FREENET: al661 / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261 FIDONET: 1:119/4.0
