Signs of the season and the time |
 London
(UK), May 2012 - (by Bob Little) For many years, trade magazines
have devoted their August (or July/ August) editions to features on
'training' or 'learning and development' (L&D). The traditional rationale
is that 'real' advertisers don’t advertise in that edition of the magazine
because readers are on holiday. So that’s the edition of the magazine that
doesn’t get read. Consequently, to salve the magazine’s conscience about
not considering L&D at any other time of the year – and to make the
industry that the magazine serves appear to have a soft, human side – it
cynically devotes a few pages to L&D issues in August.
