Editor-in-Chief Adam Ruggiero takes on the comment section — do publishers have a responsibility to respond?

Finally, AllGear Editorial Director Sean McCoy rehashes a week at Outdoor Retailer and weighs in on the once mighty trade show giant. What made OR the outdoor industry’s guiding force, and has it entered its final act?
