I received Deaf Life Magazine postcard few days ago that magazine will resume this month. (January 2007) Basically it asks if I want to continue my subscription with magazine or ask for money refund. It also asks if I need to update mail address and/or email address. [...] [...] I mentioned about Deaf Life Magazine last week at my blog — speak of devil.

Haha... NADMag is membership-based magazine and you only get it four times a year. I've lost counting on Deaf Life Magazine credits. I trust they will take care of it. We will find out soon enough :) Deaf Rochester is more of local-based newsletter and I live in Texas. Haha…

My son is into skateboarding, which is a pretty narrow interest, and yet there are several skateboarding publications for him to choose from. Thus it is pretty sad that the deaf community, which numbers in the millions, is seemingly unable to sustain any print publications for any length of time. What's the matter with us?

I noticed there was no mention of NADMag on Jamie Berke's list on about.com....that got me wondering...guess Jamie just forgot to mention it. What about Deaf Rochester? Are you getting credit with DeafLife? Will they send new issues for free until your two years is finally up? I’m surprised to hear about SignNews and NADMag.

What about Deaf Rochester?

Are you getting credit with DeafLife? Will they send new issues for free until your two years is finally up?

That should not be of a problem. For those who did not know, USA-L News has been around for 11 years. It started out as a private e-mail distribution, the went to eGroup which was bought by Yahoo. It is now with Deaf Times. You can always be updated via e-mail and/or pager. Some have said USA-L News put Deaf publications out of business. I disagree because technology has change the whole field of printed publications, not just for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. How many publications have gone out of business? The only publications that seem to survived are magazines. Maybe you should find something more educational to read when you go to the bathroom.

My husband couldn't live without it! I have found that anything any deaf person can publish as a newspaper or a magazine is just a re-run of what we have already read online.

Too many people pass around the same paper or read the one at work instead of getting their own subscription, and not enough businesses are able or willing to advertise to the deaf audience. The only way a print publication will succeed in the deaf community is if it's subsidized by a well-off organization. Thus it's surprising to hear that the CSD and NAD publications are having problems. I started Deafweekly 2-1/2 years ago and it's been really nice not having to pay thousands and thousands of dollars to the printer and post office. But I miss taking pictures and doing page layout ...
