Contents September 2011 Vol 2No.9 So long for now Dear Readers,
It has been a pleasure serving as the editor of Electronics Sourcing North America (ESNA), whichmakes it extremely difficult to announce thatMMG Publishing will be postponing ESNAmagazine after the September 2011 issue due to currentmarket conditions, along with weakening currency exchange rates. Increased concerns over a double-dip recession and the U.S. government debt levels also were contributing factors.
However, with 20,000 registered print readers and a circulation of
85,000 for the digital version, interest in ESNA remains strong and MMG will be looking at new andmore efficient ways of distributing electronics purchasing-related industry information to its loyal readers across North America.
MMG will be conducting a research survey with readers to find
other ways of producing ESNA in the future that will be commercially viable.
I would like to thank both readers and advertisers for supporting
ESNA and I amsure that we will cross paths again. MMG Publishing will continue to produce Electronics Sourcing UK
& Ireland, Electronics Sourcing Europe, Electronics Advocate, and Electronics Assembly.
Best regards, Gina Roos
