Mopar Action Magazine

[GN]

I called today to renew my subscription to Mopar Action magazine. The woman that I talked to said that MA is no longer being published. This current issue is the last.

What?!?!? Did Gromer or EBerg die or something???

From E-Booger hisself:

Guys 'n' gals:

The reports of our death are a bit premature. Here's the straight scoop:

The magazine (print) has continued to sell well, and ad revenue has also been strong. The problem has been newsstand "space"...it is obvious that fewer and fewer outlets sell magazines, and those that do devote less floor and shelf space. The internet has been a "disruptive technology" for all print media. The publisher's current distributor decided he had to carry fewer titles. We made the first few cuts over prior years but this looks tough.

The August issue has been printed and will be distributed as usual. Harris (the publisher) is scrambling to find new distribution (newsstand), if that happens, there won't even be a hiccup. If not, we may upgrade the online version (a lot!) and send a print issue to subscribers.

Either way, thanks for your support!

Cliff Gromer, Ed.
Rick Ehrenberg, Tech Ed

I like print magazines but I could do with a digital version.  Less space used in my house and it keeps the magazine alive at least in electronic form...

[RallyeMike]

Of course. I just renewed for 2 more years. 

[Scaregrabber]

Apparently Gromer is going to Christler Power and they are going to honor the MA subscriptions. No word on Ehrenberg.

glad that's cleared up  , still have 2 years subscription   

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

It's not true.  Gromer just posted a bit ago that they are still working with Harris to get everything resolved to continue Mopar Action as is.

I always wished they would have updated with the times. They would have been more profitable.

I don't care for the digital publictions.   Too hard to read on the toilet.

[RCCDrew]

But you could have both.

"Super Chevy" magazine can be VERY handy in the bathroom at times.

Ok... well stuff hit the fan today.  So MA is done.  But they have not come together with Chrysler Power for future work.  They are in discussions with a few different Mopar Mags about future offerings.

I just got off the phone with Rick...   yeah... this is essentially correct but the situation is complicated.   Stay tuned.

I hope they work something out. I've subscribed to Mopar Action for around 25 years now. Would certainly miss the good tech info./articles!

[polywideblock]

I hope they work something out they still owe me for two years subscription  

so this means all we have now is MCG ,Chrysler power and that "other "  crappy rag MM        

            why would one of  the only real mopar rags fold                    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2akt3P8ltLM

That sucks. Mopar Action was my favorite magazine!

[mopar0166]

Yes, I heard this, but Chrysler Power is now going to have a Mopar action Editorial section  for their magazine

I know! Without the continuance of Mopar Action, how will I know if I should black out my core support or not?!?!   

Gonna miss it for sure.
