A message from Manny Alban, PCA National President:


As you know, we have been working diligently to choose the next Editor of Porsche Panorama. As a matter of fact, it has taken the better part of this year to identify the right person as we move into the next phase of communications with our members and advertisers.

With this in mind, it is with great pride that I announce the appointment of Pete Stout as the new Editor of Porsche Panorama and Director, Integrated Communications.

A little background on Pete: He comes to PCA from Excellence Magazine, where he has served as Editor-in-Chief since 1998. He is a graduate of Westmont College where he earned dual BAs in English and Communication Studies. He is also a graduate of Bob Bondurant Advanced Road Racing Course and the Porsche Sport Driving School. The club is very excited and proud to have a candidate of Pete's experience and caliber taking us forward.

You will notice the dual title that Pete assumes. The EC, along with the Integrated Communications Committee, felt strongly that moving forward, the role of the Editor needed to be expanded to reflect the communication needs of our membership and sponsor/advertisers. We feel that we have addressed these in the new role for which we interviewed.

Pete succeeds current Panorama Editor-in-Chief, Betty Jo Turner, who will retire at the end of the December after serving more than 42 years. Betty Jo has garnered an immense amount of respect from those in the industry and beyond. We will forever be indebted to her for her incredible work ethic and loyalty to PCA.

Pete officially takes over on January 1, 2013, but is working with Betty Jo between now and the end of the year to ensure a smooth transition. Please join me in welcoming Pete to the PCA family.

I agree. Why can't they give us an option to not receive Panorama?

Perhaps you've heard of 914world member "horizontally-opposed"?

Yeah, he's the new editor. A 914 guy.

How's your indifference now?

Well then we better see at least one 914 in each months issue! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Everybody already knows what a 911 looks like...

As a PCA member of 38 years, I'm thankful for all the years that Betty Jo Turner devoted to Panorama, but I am eagerly awaiting the new editor as it has become stale many years ago.

I remember the fun I had in reading Pano when I got my first Porsche, now I can glance through it in a few minutes and then recycle it. However, I always read Excellence and look forward to each issue. Pete Stout should do a great job and be a breath of fresh air, however, the magazine business certainly is changing and it will be interesting to see how things move forward.

I will now officially join the PCA. I have never had any interest in being a member. I approched the membership in MN around 1998 and got the cold shoulder.

WTG Pete! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Congrats, Pete!

Incase you guys don't remember, he was nominated a while back for COTM. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

He owns one of my favorite 914's on this board. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I might have heard of "horizontally-opposed" but I sure don't know who he is. Perhaps if he used his real name I might know him better. Horizontally-opposed does sound pretty cool though. Is that the name he will use in Pando? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I look forward to the change. I still receive and 'read' Pano but I am typically done with it in 5-10 minutes and then into the recycle bin it goes. In contrast I actually read a substantial portion of Excellence - and I save them...

congrats Pete.

I just let my PCA membership slide a couple of months ago after a consecutive 24year run

I may have to re-up now...

Exact same here, Pano get recycled and Excellence gets saved. Although the cover photo on Pano is always awesome.

Congrats Pete!

I agree Pete Stout is great additon to Pano & a stand up guy. PCA made a great business decision for the future of Porsche/Pano readership. Now I wonder how EXCELLENCE will handle this change. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) Wow, our 914 world is changing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I look forward to the changes that Pete will bring! Rather than reading one to two articles I find interesting a year, I hope to see a better diversity of article type and quality writing with Pete at the helm.

No disrespect to the previous editors. Having been our local PCA newsletter editor in the past, it is a thankless job that can be all consuming.
