FADE IN...<br />
At the recent CineAsia gathering, a top-three<br />
circuit exec told us that, while some publications<br />
seem to be for advertisers, our magazine is for<br />
readers. At initial hearing, I that as a compliment<br />
to our efforts to always put our subscribers'<br />
knowledge needs first. Which it surely is.<br />
But then I thought, wait a second—a publication<br />
that is editorially driven (i.e. for the readers)<br />
is exactly the best vehicle for advertisers,<br />
because it's just that type of magazine that is<br />
actually, even avidly read by the readers—and<br />
thus the best vehicle for advertisers who want to<br />
know their marketing messages are being seen.<br />
Make no mistake; we appreciate our advertiser<br />
support. In their support, and as an aid to<br />
readers desiring rapid product information, in<br />
this issue we launch yet another new offering: a<br />
much-expanded Advertisers Index, giving not<br />
only company name and ad-page number but<br />
also mailing address, phone and fax, email and<br />
web url, and the person to contact. This information<br />
will also be posted each month on our<br />
website, where a simple click will launch an<br />
email preaddressed to reach the appropriate<br />
party at each firm advertising in that issue.<br />
It's just one part of our new-and-improved<br />
www.boxoffice.com, relaunching March 1, in<br />
time for ShoWest and our daily convention coverage.<br />
And look for us to continue our expansion<br />
of BOXOFFICE ONLINE, the digital desktop of<br />
the exhibition industry. Kim Williamson<br />
