I'm not in the trade but read the magazine. I had an article published a
couple of years ago and they wrote to me recently with a circular to say
they were cutting the rates they pay for submitted articles.

That seems equivalent to cutting their own throats, as it will surely
reduce the incentive for anyone with any expertise worth reading about to
bother writing for them.
Hence I've gone. As have almost all the others.

Electronics and Wireless World, apparently.

Best value subscription I ever took out was a five pound trial
subscription to "Business 2.0" (or some similar title). After the
dot.con bust, the magazine folded and they transferred me to "Fortune"
magazine for a year or so, and then after that they started sending me
"Time" magazine. I must have been getting that for a couple of years
now. Long may it continue!

shuffling paper than learning how real things really work, then there is
no incentive for anyone even to *acquire* any expertise. Then how do you
run the broadcasting industry itself, never mind the magazines?

But nobody needs to know anything these days, that's why. You just get 'em
off the streets, turn the handle and out comes a TV signal. It's all so
simple.

And now that he is long gone I think it fair to add that LLJ suffered all
his life from the same skin disease as Dennis Potter and the man in
"TheSinging Detective" i.e. psoriasis which could lay him low overnight.
Imagine keeping your spirits up (and writing) when suffering so badly. Yes,
a real character!

Indeed he was. Someone should publish all his old articles - which
invariably had me rolling around with laughter - in a book.

That's how I first got into the Television magazine habit - used to
spend a merry saturday morning in WH Smith howling madly at LLJ antics.
Back then, a lot of folks used Smiths as a library service - we never
actually needed to buy the magazine on leaving the shop. Indeed they
where quite glad when *I* left the shop :-)

Agree!

Which appears to have gone downhill in exactly the same way (IMHO,
naturally).
