It was for good reason... something major happened in my professional career... something that a magazine journalist might never experience in his/her career...
I was promoted. But it wasn't just a raise, or a new job title...
I was rewarded with the honor of being handed the keys to an additional magazine.
So to be clear: I'm still the editor-in-chief of Golfdom.

And now I'm also the EIC of sister publication Landscape Management magazine.
I'll try to give this some perspective, because I know that magazine publishing is somewhat alien to people outside the industry...
I've been leading Golfdom editorially since 2010, and it's been a good thing... we print 22,000 copies a month and we mail this magazine out for free to all qualified readers... we're 100% supported by our advertisers... and that's cool.
Landscape Management magazine, owned by the same company (North Coast Media) is in the same boat... their readership is 65,000 readers.
...and now I'm in charge of the editorial direction of both magazines.
Before you say, "Seth, how are you going to publish two magazines, when I know you're always running like crazy to get your one magazine published?"
More good news... along with the promotion, they've restructured things so I now have a team of editors working with me... to help me get both magazines published each month.
More to come... but yeah... I've been a little skittish for the last couple weeks because... because I'm now the EIC of two magazines! And I was already honored to be EIC of one...
