Mac,
What you were told is correct. Scripts and manuscripts intended for publication in periodicals is OK for media mail but not periodicals themselves.
Here is the official list from the USPS. Certainly people have gotten away with this and not every USPS employee understands the regulation but here is the official word from USPS. Media mail was basically created largely to support low cost exchange of educational materials prior to the advent of electronic communications and is largely an artifact today that is misused more than properly used. I am surprised the post office hasn’t discontinued the service.

It is NOT what the Postal Employees have told me. As with frequent with government employees, knowledge of all the myriad rules is sketchy at best.

Thank you, Mac, but I asked at the Post Office (and showed them a copy of CQ) and asked if I can use media mail. His answer was, sure, it’s a periodical.

A word of caution here: Since the magazines contain advertising, they are not eligible for Media Mail shipping rates. And the fact that most of the advertisers are no longer in business has absolutely no bearing on this.
