Publisher’s Notes<br />
Making a Magazine<br />
Serving Readers and Advertisers in Equal Measure<br />
By CHRIS McDONELL<br />
There is nothing more exciting, and<br />
terrifying, than a blank sheet of<br />
paper for a writer. Of course, for<br />
most of us today, that is a blinking<br />
cursor in a new Word document on an<br />
otherwise empty screen. Like a skier looking<br />
down on an untracked hill of powder snow,<br />

While all this has been going on, our<br />
salespeople have been working on the other<br />
side of this business. While we place our<br />
editorial content as primary to maintaining<br />
our relevancy to readers, our advertisers are<br />
the lifeblood of the operation. Without them,<br />
we can’t afford to publish our efforts.<br />
