PSYCHNEWS NEWS
On 15 December 1996, Donna Tabish resigned as employment
editor for personal reasons. Ric Ferraro (documents manager)
left the PsychNews International staff due to expiration of
terms on 1 January 1997.
Because of its currently limited resources, the PsychNews
team must inform its subscribers that for this year, we
cannot guarantee regular distribution. Issues will be
mailed out on the basis of available capacity.
We aim to be back on a 7-to-9-issue p.a. distribution
schedule in 1998.
Please support the PsychNews by sending us your
letters, articles, by telling your friends and
colleagues about the PsychNews or by joining the staff!
