Well, the question then becomes: is it the purpose of a magazine to
teach basic technology fundamentals? The thing is, fundamental stuff
doesn't change.... so presumably there is a better way to present it
than with a monthly magazine. Magazines are for news.
That's a good point Scott, though "news" can be more than just reviews
and announcements of new / current products. News can also be
explaining techniques that take advantage of new features recently
added to a software update.
Yes, absolutely! And stuff like explaining new features and new techniques
for existing software is EXACTLY the kind of thing magazines should be doing.
It's the kind of thing RE/P used to do also. The first time I ever heard
about jamming all the buttons in on the 1176 was in RE/P.
But magazines can also teach basics. A lot
of people will not buy a book for whatever reason, and many magazines
have had ongoing teaching series. Recording magazine, the subject of
this thread, is a good example of useful tutorials that span many
issues.
There's only so many times you can run the same tutorials over and over
again, though.
