Homeland Protection Pro mag won't take subs
from just anyone
Michael Miner says the premise behind Homeland
Protection Professional is that government agencies no longer can
afford to disdain one another. Circulation is controlled for now, but if
subscriptions are eventually offered, "we won't take (them) from
everyone who sends in a check," says editor Scott Baltic, who
launched the magazine this week. He also doesn't want terrorists getting
ideas from his Web site, so stories won't be posted until the magazine
can come up with an unbreakable pass code. "Am I being
paranoid?" asks Baltic. "Yes, I'm probably being a little
paranoid." PLUS: Miner on the Trib's Chicago mag buy:
"Think of Chicago as the Chicago Cubs of city magazines: a local
favorite gobbled up for reasons of synergy -- in this case all on the
advertising end -- that will never be allowed to become embarrassingly
bad or expensively good." (Chicago Reader)
