New This Week
Before we begin this week’s PDNewswire: On Tuesday, an e-mail announcing PIX, a free photography lifestyle digital magazine for women, was sent to The Nielsen Photo Group’s entire audience including hobbyists, students, emerging and professional photographers. The e-mail mistakenly had the name “Photo District News” in the sender line. The parent company of PDN, The Nielsen Photo Group, has issued a statement about PIX, with an email where you can send your comments and suggestions; you can find the statement here: http://tinyurl.com/pixmagazine
