Someone posted the full letter from Prop on one of my list:
Dear Propaganda subscribers,
It's no secret that with the success of U2.com over the past four
years, Propaganda, the band's official magazine, has appeared less and
less frequently.
The net has become the best way to communicate quickly and directly
with U2's audience.
As a ground-breaking band magazine, for two decades Propaganda offered
a unique inside-track on what U2 were up to - exclusive interviews,
unseen photos, rare CD releases and, of course, the chance to
guarantee purchase of concert tickets!
We have been working on creating that same experience online and this
month U2.com is set to relaunch with a 'Members Only' area which will
give subscribers access to an enormous range of exclusive U2 content.
When launched to the public, subscriptions to U2.com will be $40 p.a.
but because you were a subscriber to Propaganda and may have part of
your subscription unfilfilled, you may join U2.com for $20 for the
next twelve months.
A subscription to this area via your personalized "u2.comID Card" will
bring you immediate online access to what the band are up to. (See the
list of subscription benefits below.)
Of course U2.com will also continue to bring you up to date news of
the band, as it does at present on a free subscription basis.
Best wishes and hanks for your support of Propaganda down the years.
Propaganda and U2.com
