Racing Journal Goes Digital

The American Quarter Horse Journal, May 12, 2011 — Beginning in July, AQHA will begin publication of a brand-new digital magazine, the Q-Racing Journal, targeting the Association’s racing owners, breeders and fans. The digital magazine will be available at www.aqharacing.com, and its inaugural issues will be open to everyone, not just subscribers.

Q-Racing Journal will be a monthly digital publication dedicated to coverage of the American Quarter Horse racing industry. It will feature news, history, industry topics and race statistics.

“We believe that with the mobility of the racing community, a digital racing publication makes the most sense, then our American Quarter Horse racing enthusiasts can access the information they need from where they are – from Fort Erie to Los Alamitos,” said AQHA Senior Director of Marketing and Communications Jim Bret Campbell. “Eliminating the expenses of paper, printing and postage allows us to provide a beefier racing-oriented publication that contains the stories, information and statistics that our readers have told us they want, as well as affordable advertising for the racing industry.”

Another advantage to producing a digital racing publication is that AQHA will be able to better tie each issue of the magazine to the events – races and sales – that are going on at the time of publication.

The American Quarter Horse Journal has featured American Quarter Horse racing since its inception. In 1988, the Quarter Racing Journal was launched as a stand-alone publication. Later renamed The American Quarter Horse Racing Journal, the award-winning magazine returned to the Journal in 2010.
