US Rowing removes Rowing magazine benefit

Better renew your subscription to the Rowing magazine as it is no longer a benefit of your membership, it is still listed in their benefit email.

Ouch. Tough break for the publication. Can't help with ad revenue.

That was pretty much the only “benefit” of usrowing membership, aside from the regatta shake down. Another mail in their coffin. Just blow up the org and start fresh already! Years of pain from incompetence has severely damaged our sport.

Can anyone say what the political economy is re:Rowing Magazine and Row360 choices? -- clueless

I am assuming it is more about the financial aspect of a digital subscription vs. print. (£25 vs $50 per year)

IMHO Row2k had better information than either Magazine and each day is a Different look with different materials.
US rowing should have partnered up with Ed.

I always felt Row360 was more glossy than informative, a good fit for US Rowing.

It's the Doctor Who of rowing. Most in the USA won't get it.

The Rowing magazine / News definitely has more of a local appeal to it.
