Is the Monthly HR/IR Magazine from CiteHR Happening? New Member Curious!

Dear seniors, the idea of publishing a Monthly HR/IR Magazine from CiteHR, which was provided by Mr. S. Bhaskar, was awesome. The link has been given below for your reference. As I'm new to this site, kindly let me know if the idea has been implemented.

Thank you.

With regards,
Mimu

It's thoughtful of you to revive the 2009 posting by S. Bhaskar. Maybe it was pretty early then for such an idea to take shape, but could it be the right time now? However, rather than going for it in print format, an e-magazine format should be both cost-effective and practically feasible, I guess. One advantage for CiteHR to go for this would definitely be the vast repertoire of case studies and real-time situations that get discussed in this forum—which can be made a part of the e-magazine. This would surely be a unique selling point, which other magazines would find tough to beat. Food for thought for the moderators... including working out the financials too.

The idea has been batted around since the beginning. We wanted to create a journal from the case studies discussed here, but unfortunately, we could never find a person who could formulate the whole idea. This requires someone with experience in the publishing industry. If you or anyone knows anyone who would be interested in working on this, we have a job for him.

"How one person can change the world but can put forward the ideas"—we all are working under a team in our professional life, even on this platform (CiteHR), to make our mission successful. We all are seeking each other's help, guidance, support, and contribution, and the sincere participation of our members. Therefore, how can we look for only one person who could formulate the whole idea of publishing our own HR Magazine?

In my understanding, what we need to work on for our (CiteHR's) own HR Magazine is to have a dedicated team of professionals and researchers first.

- A team consisting of researchers, industry professionals, and senior members who are constantly engaged in professional events, seminars, and summits to share their experience and understanding in a compiled format.

For example, the participation and involvement of Ms. (Cite Contribution) - <link no longer exists - removed> | | http://www.citehr.com/423496-learnin...-b-school.html and many others. She always comes with great learning and experience that I believe works for many of us and speaks volumes to us.

- A team of members who are interested in participating in this work and are ready to share their knowledge, experience, and time to make this possible.

- Dedicated members who are professionals, actively contributing on professional terms, and directly from the industry, participating in ongoing discussions on various topics and functions of HR.

- Members who are counselors, professors, mentors, or research students to contribute with their research experience and case studies to discuss and collect key points in this regard.

- HR Generalists with extensive industry knowledge and experience who can formulate or write articles on the latest and trendy topics straight from the HR world and development.

As Mr. Sid and Mr. TajSateesh stated above,

- Members who follow up with others and invite important members into the discussion based on real-time situations and create complete case study entries which can be made a part of the e-magazine.

We need a team to frame this whole idea, and yes, of course, we need experienced professional people from the publishing industry too, which would be a great help to make this possible.

Thanks to Mimu for reminding us of this important topic and for discussing it.

I have some people in my network and contacts who are from the publishing industry and will speak to them. I will email you, Mr. Sid, with the complete details.

Request to CHR: Can we put this mission on our Home Page or "Notice Board," Mr. Sid, so that we can invite the members who are interested and would like to share their experience and knowledge in this regard? I believe this would be the best idea to pass this mission (CiteHR Magazine) around to grab the attention of interested members.

Your mention of "neither involves any Superstars and Celebs, but people who remain largely unrecognized" gives me the idea of coining the banner for this: Of the Aam HR People, By the Aam HR People & For the Aam HR People... kidding :-)

Cost Considerations for Publishing

Coming to your mention of the cost of printing, that was the reason I suggested going for an e-magazine version rather than the printed one. Even if a single copy is printed, it costs more than the e-version. In printing, there's also a breakeven point [Minimum # of copies], below which it isn't cost-effective to go for it at all.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Issues

There's one aspect that MAY need to be handled/covered in this effort though—wasn't mentioned so far: the IPR issues, of which there are quite a few possibilities.

I think we'll just keep it as an e-magazine—rather entries into the "Industry Insights" subsection. That would create more value in that section and would justify the cost of having a dedicated person create the properly written case studies.

Yes, it would be a great idea to include the special projects shared by members into the "Industry Insights"—the best would be to have a panel consisting of the senior members who would decide what goes into that special section.

Senior members and moderators will have free access to this section. If someone progresses to become a senior member or moderator, he/she will then have free access, and the paid subscription would be removed.

Yes, this is fantastic, putting together the important learnings from the post. Since a lot of queries are on legal aspects, there could be a section on Legal Tips. I would definitely like to contribute in however small way.

Thanks to all of my seniors for their initiative in publishing the e-magazine. Kindly let me know if I can assist in making this a huge success.

Thanks & regards,
Mimu

I think we can make an e-magazine and send the web address to all business schools. We can charge a nominal fee of Rs 10 a month for students with standard instructions to charge the credit card every month. This way, many students can also gain practical knowledge of HR.

Hi All, It will be a great move to publish an e-magazine and achieve further milestones in the history of Cite Communities. All the suggestions and inputs are very encouraging to give it a systematic start and achieve further success.
