Subject: Wingspan Magazine proposed changes
I have heard on the grapevine that Birds Australia is proposing significant
focus/content changes to their magazine for members - Wingspan - and that
the editors (Penny Olsen and Sophie Knezic) have resigned as a consequence
(in protest?). I understand BA is proposing to make the magazine more
'in house', with more promotion of Birds Australia, and that they "dont want
an award winning magazine". Its not a matter of cost/money I understand.
Personally, I think the content of Wingspan is fantastic, the articles have
so much of interest to birdwatchers, and it also serves as a great
promotional tool for BA.
In principle, I am not against change, it can be beneficial. But I am
wondering why major changes are proposed, without consulting with Birds
Australia membership, readers of Wingspan etc.
If you love your Wingspan as I do, maybe its a good idea to let Birds
Australia know your views!!
cheers
Jenny
