Bill Goichberg has been circulating a "new plan". Essentially, his new

Regular dues for those who want the magazine will be $42. Those who do
not want the magazine will only have to pay $29.

So, the magazine doesn't have enough of a circulation in order to be
able to have the advertising pay for its circulation? If it were done
right, with a large enough subscriber base, the magazine could be
free.

Oh well. Good luck on the USCF getting this going.

Really? And how many free magazines do you know of? Since all you need
is "a large enough subscriber base," where go I go to get my free
copies to /Time/, /Newsweek/ and /People/?

Consider the likes of trade publications I get. I have multiple
subscriptions in the area of sales and so on, which are free to me.
Advertising is supposed to pay for all, if not most, of the publishing
costs. Money paid for the publication is supposed to be profit. And
people pay for Time, Newsweek, etc... because the publisher can charge
for it.
