In Reply to: Stereo Sound- Japanese Publication / English Edition ?? posted by Ross on July 8, 2016 at 12:29:59:
To pay for an English language edition the publishers would need to find English language advertisers. However product availabilty is not consistent across the world. Products available in Japan, Korea and China often have no availabilty elsewhere.
So its attraction as an advertising medium to distributors outside of the magazine's intended Far Eastern market may be limited. It may therefore require editorial specifically addressed to the English lanaguage market. However no audio magazine can serve all of the Anglosphere from an advertising viewpoint. So which market to pick? Well market size alone points to an American edition. However if you look at the circulation figures of established audio magazines in the USA e.g. Stereophile, they are tiny given the size of the population. I would think that an economic case for an English language version of Stereo Sound would be rather fragile.
