TPW MAGAZINE, 2: The editor of Texas Parks and Wildlife 
magazine shares her thoughts on the future of the 
publication in the digital age. On Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

Technological advancements have changed the way we 
consume information. Many of us have put down 
newspapers, magazine and books in favor of digital 
devices. Even the 75 year old Texas Parks and Wildlife 
magazine has an APP. So, I checked in with Editor, Louie 
Bond, to get her thoughts on whether she believes this 
outdoor magazine of Texas it will remain a print 
publication. 

45�I truly believe that we will always have a print copy. I think 
that there�s a great love for readers young and old to have that 
quiet time that you spend away from all screens�and to just 
hold that magazine in your hand and turn the page and see what 
surprise is next�rather than looking up a certain topic digitally 
and seeing it that way. So for me, I�m an old school paper, print 
journalism person. So, I love the experience of picking up a 
magazine and not knowing what the next page is going to bring. 
And I don�t think you get that same feeling in an app. However, a 
lot of young people get their information digitally. So, that 
enables us to reach both audiences. And it doesn�t really take 
anything away from our print magazine to add digital viewers as 
well.

The January/February issue of Texas Parks and Wildlife 
magazine is on newsstands now. You can also download 
the app from tpwmagazine.com.
