Here are the logisitcs of what I see as the solution: we opt for a (perhaps) less aestheically pleasing print edition and create one version that is both online and print version. If the newsletter were produced in Word using web-page files, we could print copies of it as needed and post a version of this directly to the web: One process, two products. IF I survive the tenure process, I'd be willing to work on this part of the editor's work (I'll know by June). What are the other parts of the job?
