2002 to 2006 |
In 2002, the Media Forum transitioned from a printed publication to an online resource.
The original online newsletters, on mslma.org were quite attractive and hyperlinked, thanks to the work of Rick Paula, our online editor.
The archives for 2002-2006 are simple page-by-page screenshots of these issues, captured before the mslma.org page was taken down in 2006
