Press Release Java Developer's Journal Responds to Java Pro Publisher Pat Cameron's Letter
Java Developer's Journal Responds to Java Pro Publisher Pat Cameron's Letter
Aug. 21, 2002 12:00 AM
"JDJ felt compelled to respond to Mr. Cameron's statements," said Robert Diamond, vice president at SYS-CON Media. "As JDJ has consistently focused on strengthening its position in the marketplace, our competitors increasingly focused on filing publicity complaints." Java Developer's Journal has consistently exceeded its rate base and has never under-delivered. As of June 2002, and according to BPA, Java Developer's Journal delivered 50.2% higher circulation (90,115) than its rate base, 38% higher circulation than Java Pro (65,071), and significantly higher circulation than Java Pro in the past three years, (please see table below).
![]() Mr. Cameron's reference to a BPA suspension confuses both Java Pro and Java Developer's Journal advertisers. In fact, the suspension was prompted by an error in our accounts payable department and had no relation to JDJ's impressive circulation history, quality, quantity, or undisputed leadership in the marketplace since its inception. Below is a letter we received from Mr. Glenn J. Hansen, President and CEO of BPA International, regarding the suspension notice temporarily posted at the BPA Web site. Mr. Fuat Kircaali Dear Fuat:
In early July our accounting staff posted a membership "suspension" notice to our Web site for JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL, which was removed immediately after the subject was brought to BPA's attention. This suspension was an accounting matter with past due invoices and payment crossing in the mail.
The suspension was NOT related to an audit, the quality of the circulation, nor of the magazine and its personnel. JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL is a member in good standing.
Please feel free to share this letter with interested parties to clarify the quality and quantity of circulation were never in question.
Sincerely,
Glenn J. Hansen
( ** ) - What does it mean that JDJ exceeded its rate base by 25%? It means that during the six-month period ending December 2001 JDJ advertisers received a 25% advertising bonus above the JDJ rate base published in the December 2001 BPA Statement. ( *** ) - What is JDJ's current rate base and actual circulation? As per the June 2002 BPA Statement, JDJ's most current rate base is 60,000, and its most current six-month average circulation is 90,115. ( **** ) - By how much did JDJ exceed its current rate base? In its most recent circulation statement JDJ exceeded its rate base by 50.2%.
