The new year represents a new beginning — a chance to start fresh and turn the page. For InvestmentNews, we mean that quite literally.
With this first issue of 2022, we’re introducing a new format that we believe will enhance your reading experience. The changes are subtle, but substantive.
This new format offers more opportunities to include the widest range of stories and reinforce IN’s greatest strength: A veteran news team that can provide nuance and insight into how the latest news impacts our readers.
So, what’s new? We’re introducing several sections that we’re quite excited about.
First is IN Depth, which offers a deeper dive into a story or trend. Think of it as a bonus cover story.
That’s followed by Analysis & Commentary, where we gather our expansive group of columnists and contributors for a focused review of what the latest news means.
We’ve dispensed with subject-driven sections and replaced them with IN the News, an extension of Top News, which offers a broader selection of stories on a wide range of topics.
Finally, with the production challenges of the pandemic in the rear view, we’ve adopted a twice-monthly publication schedule for both the print and digital editions of the magazine.
We hope you enjoy this refresh, and we welcome your feedback.
Happy New Year!
