Dome is published by Scott Publishing, LLC, which published michigan
lobbyist magazine, a quarterly print publication, from 2003 to January
2006. Initially, all Dome content will change on a monthly basis. Plans
call for additional features and standing departments, as well as more
frequent content changes, as the magazine develops.
"Our goal was to create a magazine that would be bigger, better, broader in
scope, more frequent and less expensive for readers and advertisers," said
T. Scott, president. "That was our mantra and our mandate."
He added, "Dome gives readers a magazine approach to the larger story of
the influencing and making of public policy. This includes the
personalities, relationships, historical context and other forces at work,
be they in or far from Lansing. The magazine is designed to appeal to the
broad range of individuals across Michigan who make up the political and
policymaking community, as well as to citizens who simply have an interest
in learning more about what's going on -- and why."
