The news item I have pasted below appeared in Crikey today.
It may be that old copies of Overlander Magazine may become collector's items.
Quote:
"On Monday morning, staff at News Magazines Men's Division (
Alpha, GQ, Two Wheels, Live to Ride etc.) were sent an email telling staff that despite concerns about the financial crisis, they shouldn't be worried about their jobs and that things were secure at News Magazines. On Wednesday morning the phones started to ring, and staff were called one by one to Level 2. About 20% of the division was told to pack up their desks and to go
home. Casualties included the Production Manager, the Editor of Trucking Life and Overlander, advertising and creative staff. News Magazines CEO Sandra Hook remains".
I'll do a plug for Crikey here, but if you want an unbiased as you can get, look at what is happening in Oz at the moment, this is the place. Just Google "Crikey".
