Editor’s comment for March 2022

Here’s a straw poll for all our readers to take part in: is there still the love out there for the hardcopy version of Aerospace Manufacturing magazine?

I ask because it seems the good old-fashioned paper copy is fast becoming out of step with consumer trends. Nowadays, the majority of folk prefer to procure their content online. It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s on the go – it helps you keep pace with modern technological trends. Like the paper broadsheet newspapers I prefer to read in bed on Sunday morning, we’re no longer reading today what’s yesterday.

I’d argue that consuming feature-length articles on smart phones and tablets isn’t the most leisurely and engaging reading experience. There is a tendency to scan through the content and miss some vitally important information.
