Re: Sport Fishing Australia, Yak Fisher News Wanted
I am currently responsible for sourcing information for the news section of the magazine, supplying its reader base information on current products and issues that relate directly to the kayak fishing market.
In the past this has been fairly easy to do, but given the sports rapid growth over the last year we are hoping to secure constant fresh information from manufacturers regarding upcoming product releases on the Australian kayak fishing market (Beyond Oceania, not limiting to). Given the magazine is a seasonal affair (Eg: Winter 2010), and with the sport booming, we believe supplying Intel on brand releases direct to the buying consumer to be in your best interest.
Past information published in the news section of Yak Fisher has included kayak specific tackle, kayak accessories, tournaments, trade shows, general tackle, international products, kayak manufacturers models, gossip, industry news and a lot more. There is no charge or fee for getting information out to readers, only a privilege of information is sourced privately before being externally supplied publicly via print media.
Without speaking for AFN directly (Australian Fishing Network) you can be rest assured that when it comes to a request for confidentiality regarding an upcoming product launch my silence would be paramount outside of any Yak Fisher delegated seasonal news role. All drafted news containing information via press release or what have you could be subject to editing and is submitted through Yak Fisher Editor Rob Maya for inclusion in future editions of the magazine.
Potential news and information needs to be supplied to myself by no later than the magazine corresponding deadline dates, offered below for your due consideration:
Issue #52 – Summer Edition (Deadline 20th September 2010)
Issue #53 – Autumn Edition (Deadline 27th November 2010)
Issue #54 – Winter Edition (Deadline 3rd April 2011)
Please feel free to contact me via email in regards to the above, or to discuss other areas you believe the news section can carry its information to its readers. Please feel free to check my bona fides (Credentials) with media manager Rob Maya from AFN, I am sure a trusting working relationship will be guaranteed. While I continue to contribute my own personal articles to the magazine each and every issue I am not paid any fee relating to penning the news section of Yak Fisher Magazine, nor am I employed by AFN, Sport Fishing Australia or any related subsidiary.
All submissions must be via email please (paffoh@aol.com)
