Is there a website or e mail address for Garden News (weekly)
can't
seem to find it with a search?
Hi Trevor,
Garden News is an EMAP publication. I don't know of a specific
Garden
News website, but their telephone number is 01733 264666 and postal
address of: Garden News, Bretton Court, Bretton, PETERBOROUGH, PE3
8DZ.
EMAP can be found at http://www.emap.com
As far as I know -- I used to be in the business for another firm --
EMAP closed the websites for their magazines a few years ago.
OT, but it's interesting (to some, anyhow!) to note that
Web-evangelists like me rapidly came up against the problem that it's
very hard to make a subscription-free website pay for itself. At one
stage I was on-line editor for about twenty-five daily and weekly
titles, with what seemed a barely adequate team of under twenty
people. The axe descended, and the operation is now combined with
others and run semi-automated from a central location with a fraction
of the staff. My guess is that the field won't open out again, for
readers _or_ journalists, till we have pocketable folding monitors
and the public are weaned onto automatic micro-charging, as for
telephone calls -- I don't think that's far off, but the cost to a
publisher of hanging on till then is serious.
