Editor’s Welcome
to the August 2012 monthly digital edition of Harrier Magazine
Welcome to the first monthly digital edition of Harrier Magazine. But hold on, what’s different about the new monthly digital edition? For starters, the monthly digital edition comes out twelve times a year, instead of the four quarterly editions we have been publishing for the past ten years.. • The monthly digital edition has 30% more pages than our print edition. • The monthly digital edition has more timely HHH news than the quarterly edition. • The monthly digital edition has 50% more events on the Hash the World Calendar to help you plan your upcoming Hash Holidays * The monthly digital edition has longer features stories than we run in the print edition. Printing is expensive, and the more pages we print, the higher our printing costs. It costs much less to run more digital edition pages than the increased costs inherent with larger print editions. The digital edition has a much greener footprint than the print edition; many more trees are cut for print than digital.
* All events and ads are clickable allowing you convenient access to dozens of websites. Our August features include Hashing in Germany is just in time for German Nash Hash 2012. And from the USA, Bungle in the Jungle is just in time for this year’s 10th Anniversary. Out of Asia: Subic Bay, Philippines is in time for the Subic H3‘s 1000th Run coming up next month. Then there’s the Hua Hin International Triathlon this month for our bi and tri friends. So the long and short of it is that you are getting much more bang for your buck in the monthly digital edition than you have ever had before. If you like what you see, then please let us know how we’re doing. And please let your friends know as well how to sign up 12 months of Harrier Magazine online for less than a dollar per monthly digital edition. As always, your comments and suggestions are always welcome. On On and happy hashing!
