Welcome to The Inventive Issue of Cover Lines, Magazines Canada's monthly newsletter. After some very hectic times this fall, with many events and much to celebrate—the Magazines Canada Symposium, Word on the Street, Alberta Magazines Conference, Cover to Cover, the Special Measures for Journalism extension for THREE years and subsequent deadline on November 17, and much much more—we have fewer big events these last weeks of the working year. Which does not mean quiet times—far from it! It is time to think about what's next, to plan more big stuff for the future—to get inventive!

Broadview was proud to help represent Canadian magazines in Ottawa last month!

Digital and United Church in Focus editor Emma Prestwich was part of Magazines on the Hill, a Magazines Canada delegation advocating for support for Canadian publications.

The delegation, which included editors, publishers and the leaders of regional industry associations, met with the Department of Canadian Heritage and Canada Council for the Arts to share their experiences and push for more funding.

Magazines Canada also hosted a reception for senators, MPs and their aides which featured an impressive array of Canadian magazines for guests to take home — including copies of Broadview. The event led to some great conversations about the work Broadview does and why magazines matter.

Hey Magazines Canada Members! Did you miss our incredible Symposium panel on Increasing Ad Revenue with Pam Chodda Young Nicholas Wattson Alexander Sallas, PhD and Adam Szpakowski? Well now you can catch up—or relive the highlights—with the video recording on our website!

Let's talk ad sales—what's gotten harder in the past few years and how we pivot, what's gotten easier (if anything), how different areas of the industry are working with current trends and some general best practices. And of course a Q&A.
