International Assembly & the White Wing Messenger

germanshepherd · Postby **germanshepherd** » September 11th, 2008, 5:44 am

As a remembrance of the International Assembly, the Editorial Department is making the October issue of the White Wing Messenger available online for your viewing pleasure. In the past, we have made only certain pages available as a “Sneak Peek” into what was to come in the next issue. This month, we have decided to venture out and try something new and innovative, for us that is. That being said, we invite you to visit our web presence at wwm.cogop.org and view the October issue in its entirety. The “Sneak Peek” is located under the “Messenger Sample” tab. Once you click on there, then click on the picture of the cover for the “Sneak Peak.”

While at our website, we invite you to join with us by subscribing to receive the White Wing Messenger in your home. We have made it possible for you to do so through our secure subscription site. The subscription rate is $18.00 for 12 issues. If you are able to get a group of five together to subscribe, you will save more than 40 percent off the single subscription rate. This brings the price down to less than $1.00 an issue.

We also would like to hear feedback from you concerning the online version. If you would, please take the time to send your feedback to Editorial@cogop.org. This will be helpful to us as we look toward the future of this ministry.

That is a very nice looking issue! I spotted some Jude2ers in places - Scooter at the TC reception, for one. Kudos to all the people who helped put it together!

I hope they meant Sneak Peek.

Peak is a mountain, right?

At any rate, well done with the online version of the WWM.

Here is a direct link to the online edition.

WWM online and with archives would be great. I have wondered why we have lagged in this area. Glad it is finally being discussed or at least thought about.

Also, check out page 17 of the Childrens Assembly. There is a pic of a little boy with a faux-hawk, sunglasses & necklace. That is my boy Brayden!

That is why I do not actually do the copy editing and focus on office management and marketing.

Peak is now PEEK

Thanks!

I think it is wonderful, and a great step in the right direction. I, personally, am not a huge fan of simply replicating the print version for viewing on the internet, as they are such different mediums. Online newspapers have learned this over the past few years and have learned to ADAPT the content to websites.

HOWEVER -- Great job... save some trees and do online more than ink-on-paper! And my baby, TORI is at the top of page 28! Any site with Tori scores with me.

I voted yes but I would still want to have a paper copy available for those folks (especially elderly) who do not have a computer.

I would LOVE an online version, but admittedly I wouldn't pay for it.

I agree. And what am I supposed to do when I'm sick, sleep with my laptop under my pillow?

Okay -- that almost made me spit coffee all over my MacBook Pro! :lol:

(Actually, you boil the laptop and drink the juice...)

Actually, it is a lot like what we do now when we are sick. However, instead of running to the doctor, we go to our computer. When there we print out a copy of the WWM and then use it as needed. Thus, if you only have the sniffles, you can print one page and everything will be o.k.. Or if you are really sick, you can print multiple copies and forget the pillow; put your head right on the page.

:shock:
