I come to you, our readers, seeking your feedback
MAY 10, 2020

When I wrote the first of these missives back in the Jan. 6 issue, I introduced our new magazine size and spoke of the many changes we had planned for the year.

Since then, we have redesigned the magazine, spun out a new website and revamped several of our newsletters, including the Daily Pulse, which is now sent out every afternoon with all the key news you need. 

Then came COVID-19, and we introduced the digital edition of our magazine in March. So there’s been some change. 

Now I come to you, our readers, seeking your feedback. The email delivering the May 4 issue included a two-question survey, and some of you may have received a five-minute survey in the mail asking your thoughts on the website and digital edition. Thanks in advance for taking the time to complete those.

Have specific feedback not covered in the surveys? Email me ([email protected]), or tweet at me (@geomoriarty), or find me on LinkedIn or send a carrier pigeon. 

I’m listening.
