copped the mag. didnt really notice anything applausably different. the mag still doesnt do it for me. i repeat, the mag doesnt do it 'for me'. On the other hand, props to the editor for making a couple more people more happy with the product. we all know that he cant make everybody happy. i consider myself just one of a handfull of people who will probably never be happy with the content and direction of the mag. i say this because of all the issues i have read, i have never read an article that was of particular interest to me, neither have i seen an interview with an individual i would liked to have read about. i consider it a fair a**umption to believe that things wont change because in my opinion, things are exactly the same even with the new editor, beside a slight change in basic format as well as graphical content. about the scenes section, i found it particularly odd that not only did cats leave scenes like p.e, e.l and freestate out, but they substituted them with scenes outside the country! I for one didnt cop the mag to find out about whats goin on outside sa. i was told by a source that said there would be a scenes section.i copped the mag expecting to see something on the eastern cape scene, but saw nothing at all! Seems like a lot more effort to find out what is going on internationally than what is going on nationally. I can confirm that there is actually quite a bussling scene here in p.e, so if there was an idea that there isnt one, then now, everyone should kno there is. I had a feeling that a lot of focus was going to be on pta acts. i decided to keep quiet about that tho and wait for the new issue to prove me wrong. im glad i wasnt holding my breath. i dont really kno about the politics involved with running a mag. but i just feel if you are going to push a mag nationally, then the content should be exactly that, containing a little something that even what some may consider to be the bottom feeders ie the E.C can relate to.
