Evelyn,
Thanks for the nice explanation of your terrific company's status. I for one, have been a subscriber for as long as you've been publishing the magazine going back to S/38 days. I've been one of your 'Professional subscribers' as long as that has been in effect also. Not that one person's opinion can sway a decision, but my 2 cents are that the print has always been a more effective tool for me and my department than digital would be.
I hope to continue to enjoy and share the printed copy for many more years.
Thanks, Larry

Subject: Re: Penton Media Health?
As Publisher for the System iNetwork, I can assure you that Penton Media and
the System iNetwork are financially healthy. Every business has to assess
where there are areas that need to be refocused and how to promote
innovation and growth by rechanneling our efforts - sometimes at the result
of closing a business to make room for new business to thrive. Penton has
been involved in several new substantial business acquisitions as well
as launching
a new division of business and
services<

We remain dedicated and an advocate for the i and Power communities and will
continue to provide quality content, information, news, and training for
those communities. With the changing landscape and professional culture for
today's technologists, we strive to provide opportunities and engagement

have no definitive plans for eliminating any current formats for our content
delivery (print or digital) but are exploring ways to stay current and
represent the expressed needs of our members.
