Shares Magazine revamp - Any thoughts?     

Andy - 21 Apr 2008 00:36

Shares Magazine was totally revamped this week.

Out has gone the tabloidy style, and aticles on small caps, in has come long articles by market 'experts' and large cap reporting.

The Prospector has been axed.

I am disppointed with the changes, and wondered if anyone else here subscribed or bought Shares, and had a view they wold like to share?

There seem to be plenty of detractors of the mag on this site, but if they help you to pick a winner, then I can't see any cause for complaint !
One thing that I do find aggravating , however, is the index. It is not uncommon to have a company page reference to be wrong or not even there !
I would not have thought it too difficult to get this one right. Still, it is possible that someone on the staff is out to annoy the punters !!

Kim,

I haven't seen one of those yet, but they should be reporting the sector every week IMO, it is so vibrant.

Andy, it is a booklet with a bold MRQ on the front. Issue 1 dated June 2011, 27 pages. I must confess I nearly binned mine thinking that it was an advertising leaflet!!

A weekly precise, if nothing else, would be nice I suppose.

Perhaps renaming it: News (about Shares) of the World might fill a gap and also do wonders for circulation?

.. That will depend who the proprietor is.

Proprietor or perpetrator?!

Personally I never did like the News of the World, so I am not upset to see it's demise!
