    Doing more on the digital front has come up in discussion a fair bit over the last couple of days.

    If Nero (or even 2rismo*) did want to talk about his digital plans, I'm all ears.

      I've been publishing Race for almost 9 years now and it goes to NZ now, but I think needs to expand to thrive. I'm keen on digital too as I get inquiries from the USA/Europe but the postage cost is too damn steep.

        We had huge digital plans for MOTOR and all of Bauer's motoring titles. What happens to all of that now is up in the air as the publishers pushing all of that change aren't going with the mags.

        There is going to be a glut of writing/print talent in Sydney out of all this, so I reckon my only shot to make some kind of short-term living is to use my digital experience and ideas. Will have to fire up the ol' Street or Die Facebook page again. lol.

        If you need freelance contributions or a production manager, Nero, hook a brother up haha.

          That's really shithouse to hear Iain.

          The only disapointing thing about Race is that I have to wait 3 months between issues.

              This is something that The Nationals have put together as both an online and physical mag. It doubles as the Program for the Shannons Nationals, whilst featuring stories and articles about the featured categories and drivers. Baby steps, but we're headed in the right direction I think. Online is handled by Issuu (sp?)

                  No point Bill, costs $0.10 extra to get it there and only 500 copies ATM to test response.

                    Nero - have you looked at doing a digital version and using services like Zinio to distribute it?

                      I have yellamundi.com.au that can host and process paid downloads which I'm hoping will help.
                      Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons

                        I have. Zinio takes a fair chunk of the cash and are not really interested in small niche publications. I'm also not convinced that their format is the best approach. Going only digital is risky e.g. the driver's republic
                        I have spoken to someone who wants to go digital, but can't see us reaching an accord at this point in time.
                        Naturally I have 35 issues worth of content that can go online and I had considered going with a yearbook format, with expanded images etc. I think there is also scope for digital channel to support etc.
                        Thing is I am one bloke doing this very part time, to upscale this much is beyond one person.

                          PSC is still around? WTF??

                          ive tried digi mags a few times. one was a CD of slick 6 packs (an old chrysler mag, now defunkt), used to suck booting up the laptop to take into the dunny to read the mag, and then you have to take care not to fuck the CD.

                          and then i subscribed to autospeed. same problem, except tablets have made that a bit easier. but then online stuff, you cant read it where theres no net connection. need a favorites list a mile long to save favorite articles.

                          paper all the way

                          only advantage is no need for a wall stacked with mags.
