Because of my work with the Hobie Class News / Hobie Hotline, I've been asked to make a presentation on "newsletters" at the US SAILING One-Design Sailing Symposium in New Orleans next month.
So what's everybody's opinion? Is the printed page still relevant in the Internet Age? If so, what purpose should it serve? What should it contain? Who should it go to? How often?
Of course, I have my own opinions on this, but I'd like to hear from a broader audience.
There is no 1 right answer to this one. I prefer to get sent a pdf that I can read from the computer (gives me something to do at work if nothing else <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.
Others like Mary prefer to avoid them whenever they can and much prefer a printed document which is totally understandable considering how much time people spend on these damn things.
For my $0.02 worth - I love the new Hobie Hotline - it is a good mix of fun (the retro pictures are great), technical and reports/notices of upcoming events etc. Keep going!
