Arrow

[NW Mailing List]

If I may come to the defense of the NWHS here, being an editor is VERY time consuming.  I used to publish a small, one page newsletter for a small railroad club, and it took a lot of my time.  I would imagine that doing a work the size of the Arrow would take many hours to put together.  
  I personally have no problem letting a publications company take care of the Arrow.  Since it is ALL they do, they have more time to work on it, and won't have a learning curve.  As Chuck stated, we are the ones who contribute the material.  Now, if the same articles started showing up in several different publications, then I could see a cause for concern.  But, since we're specific to the N&W, I don't believe that would be a problem.
   
  Just my opinion,

  The N&WHS has an editorial board that solicits and determines the content of the Arrow and each is a member of the Society.  The list of the members is found on the bottom left of page two.  All are very knowledgeable about the N&W and each an accomplished author.  Rest assured that the Society has retained full control of how the Arrow looks and what you will find between the covers.
   
  White River Productions does the graphics work, the publication, and distribution of each magazine.  What we gain with Kevin and White River is an accomplished graphic artist who knows the technical aspects of putting a magazine such as ours together, someone who can provides economies of scale in the publication (15 magazines), and someone who is very knowledgeable about railroads and who is a huge railfan himself.
   
  The N&WHS Board of Directors moved to have White River publish the Arrow for reasons that Bill McClue, interim Editor, outlined on page 2 of the current issue in "From the Interim Editor...".  Further questions should be directed to Bill, who is the current publication chairman.  He can be contacted thru the Society website at www.nwhs.org.
   
  This issue contained 32 pages.  Future issues will contain more. To help prevent the Arrow from becoming a "generic rail road society magazine", I invite you and all members of the Society to contribute.  Write up a short article on something you know about and submit it for inclusion in one of the future issues.  We are always looking for articles and other contributions from and for our members.

  Last week two magazine came in the same mail.  One was the  
"NORTHWESTERN LINES" from the Chicago & Northwestern Historical  
Society, the other the "ARROW".  I usually don't pay much attention  
to who the editor is, but the mention of Kevin EuDaly as the new  
editor caught my attention.   I went back to the "NORTHWESTERN  
LINES", and sure enough he is the editor of that magazine also.  I  
just went on line and found that he is the apparently the editor of  
15 magazines of this type.

Does this mean his company produces a sort of "generic" rail road  
society magazine?  How can he find the time to be editor of all those  
15 magazines?

Seeing that I belong to both societies, I will be able to observe the  
differences and similarities between the two magazines.

The latest quarterly Northwestern Lines is 64 pages long and the  
latest quarterly Arrow is 32 pages.
