Work on getting basic facts straight, (like the correct names of fields and hometowns) use spell check more often, resist the urge for sensationalism, and try and work out the French/English "continuity thing" and you may succeed.
Gear the magazine for stable ADULTS, not mushbrained illiterate kidz or overweight 40-something Nazi/Commie dress up guys, and I think you'll be on to something.
I am not trying to be combative with this post; I look at it as constructive criticism. I wish you great success, but if you do not cater to a stable demographic of adults, but instead pander to the Lowest Common Denominator, you will fail. I have seen this happen too often to other magazines, both paintball related and non-paintball related. |
Your input is appreciated. And if you ever see an article written by a person with "zulu" in his name, that would be me. Feel free to pm me anytime with any constructive criticism.
I hope the "industry people" will take the time to shoot an email to Jungle (or myself and I can put it in the right hands) with anything they may find to be in error as well. You can PM for it if you'd like. This magazine is written by us and for us and I, personally, would like to see it be a very strong representation of our sport and take great pride in everything my name goes on (and doesn't) in the mag (even though there are the occasional errors here and there).
