RAD'S RANT

Radcon White, PRESIDENT & CEO of Dalhousie Peer Media Empire

NOW WHAT DO I DO?
Dalhousie Peer Media Empire has suffered a crushing blow in the loss of the editors of our flagship publication, Dalhousie Peer Magazine.
My first reaction to their announced retirement was to simply hire someone else. Easier said than done.

What sane person would work so tirelessly and courageously as they have for the pittance that this publication can afford? That realization left me with two choices. Hire someone insane or put things on hold in hopes that they would some day miss me enough to return to the roost. So I’m leaving that door open, in spite of the draft.

It’s an empty house now. With our editors went the devoted writers—all experts in their respective fields and even harder to replace than the editors themselves.

So now what do I do? A new era is upon us. The written word does not have to be inked upon costly paper that costs the planet trees that give the earth oxygen. See where I’m going with this?

Electronic media costs nothing, consumes little and does not burden the planet with waste, toxins or litter.

Dalhousie Peer Media Empire wants to be a partner with the earth. To do this we will go one better than using recycled paper. We will use no paper. Instead, we will become an electronic magazine delivering the news to your computer screen.

When I first started out to build my empire, I didn’t need writers, editors, graphic artists, sales reps et al. I did it all myself. I may be a bit older but I’m also a lot more experienced. I can do it all over again if need be.
Look for my postings at the Dalhousie Peer website www.peer2000.com and eventually at www.portdalhousiepeer.ca.

Though my editors (and their writers) claim to only be taking a hiatus from deadlines, I cannot allow that degree of liberty for myself. Any self-made man must produce or perish.

From my Port Dalhousie power base, I intend to tackle issues of the day, both local and national and even global if the mood strikes.
I hope our readers who have flipped through our pages for the past 13-plus years will now be inclined toward visiting The Peer on the internet. In time I hope to introduce a public forum to debate the issues—and won’t that be fun. So this is not ‘goodbye’ but merely a change of venue. And should fate be willing, we might even be back in hard copy and delivered to your door once again. ¤
