Commodore paid CW Communications to produce six issues of Amiga World, under the condition that CBM had the ultimate editorial control. So, the red cover issue is the first without the supervision and approval of CBM. This was reported in the Colmbia Journalism Review as early as last summer, before the first issue of Amiga World hit the streets. While it might be in a company's best interests to foster a magazine to promote a new computer, I think CBM and CW Communications learned a few lessons about editorial integrity and consumer interest. They took a lot of heat for being so fluffy, and so biased in their coverage. They are trying to change, of course, to stay in business.
