Calendar: Many Changes to 2006 ALM Editorial Calendars

§    For Your Information

 

 

Is it your job to know when ALM's publications conduct their surveys? Well, it's our job as well. So, we urge you to take a close look at the 2006 editorial calendars, as there has definitely been a whole lotta shakin' going on.

 

Just a few examples: The Am Law 100, published in The American Lawyer's July issue since the beginning of time, will appear this year in the May issue. The associates surveys, long synonymous with "October," will disappear from that month effective 2006, when the mid-levels survey report moves to August, and the Summer Associates Survey cements its November appearance in The American Lawyer's Student Edition. The A-List and Pro Bono reports, which had just recently settled into a September routine, have moved to July.

 

There have also been some new surveys added. Corporate Counsel magazine, for instance, is in the midst of defining what legal department will be designated "The Best." That feature is scheduled for May 2006. IP Law & Business is conducting its first-ever survey of the biotech industry this year (Who Protects Biotech America, April 2006). The editorial research department recently sent firms an e-mail alerting them to the project and giving them the opportunity to "nudge their clients," as research editor Rosemarie Clancy put it.

 

The easiest way to get your hands on a 2006 surveys editorial calendar for any of ALM's publications is to go to our corporate site,www.alm.com, and choose a link to either the "magazines" or "newspapers." Click on the name of a magazine or newspaper and then, on the publication's site, click on the link to the editorial calendar, which is the first live link under the publication's title.

 

Alternately, ALM Research Online has compiled all survey report dates for the national publications into one surveys calendar, with publication dates for surveys reported by both the national and regional publications. The survey calendar can be accessed through the home page of www.almresearchonline.com.

 

Be sure to get on Rosemarie Clancy's alert list. She is not only the research editor for The American Lawyer, but also for all national publications, including The National Law Journal, and she manages all the surveys conducted for the national publications. Rosemarie sends out alerts on a regular basis to keep law firm marketers apprised of what's coming up. If you're not yet on her list, or if contact information has changed, contact Rosemarie at rclancy@alm.com.
