TPW TV—MAGAZINE’S 75TH: The premier outdoor magazine 
of Texas, featured on the premier Television show of 
Texas…ahead on Passport to Texas. (Feb. 3)

This is Passport to Texas

Over its 75 year history, a changing dedicated staff of 
writers, editors, photographers, artists and others, have 
lovingly crafted each page of Texas Parks and Wildlife 
magazine. 

40— [Louie Bond] It doesn’t really matter how many people 
you have when you have really dedicated, really talented 
people. [Russell Roe] Our challenge always is to kind of tell 
the story of conservation in interesting ways. [Nathan Adams] 
How are we going to tell this story in a way that resonates? 
[Sonja Sommerfeld] Everything is a collaboration. We each 
bring our own little taste to the table… [Nathan Adams] 
Everyone gets to come in and offer suggestions. That’s a nicer 
than saying argue. [Russell Roe] That kind of creative tension 
helps us create a better magazine. [Louie Bond] The most 
important thing about magazine planning is the term ‘long 
range’. A year and a half in advance is completely mapped out. 
[Chase Fountain] Time constraints. You know, there’s a 
deadline. [Earl Nottingham] We try to push ‘em sometimes.

We heard editor, Louie Bond, managing editor, Russell 
Roe, Art Director, Nathan Adams, photo editor, Sonja 
Sommerfeld, and photographers: Chase Fountain and Earl 
Nottingham.
