View Full Version : Why would Karen Chadwick -editor- sanitize a club article for the ACNA magazine?

She's listed as the editor..........QQ fall 2008.

There are (on page 78 & 79) at least six paragraphs that end with one word ( 4: time, situation, miles, considerably) or two words ( 2: escalates dramatically, next year OOOO) So I know its NOT a space issue.......

I've had "my issues" languishing at the ACNA BoD for a year now, so are they afraid to credit us volunteers (the eventmaster & organizer, and Jake a great club member/volunteer and NAAC BoD member ) in the National Glossy?

They took out EXACTLY one sentence from the article:

"Also on hand were <b>S c o t t D o w n s and J a s o n T o o t h</b>, North Atlantic club members who've already been through the hazing of doing a timing belt change on their own cars."

So Karen, - as editor, why the deletion from the article?
How does the ACNA expect members to volunteer and assist (local chapter clubs) in growing ACNA membership when this is just another thing the ACNA just does?

It certainly is not a format or space issue, someone can't abbreviate Mass., from Massachusetts?

Who is responsible for the omission and why?

Space was NOT an issue.

she reads thousands of words in articles every month.

In short: if it didn't "move the story", it got dropped.
