One feature I would like to incorporate is a number of short (up to 500 words) stories from readers about how their lives have been blessed by The New Times. This publication has, since its inception, been a grassroots forum; a place where like-minded people can share inspiring experiences and offer helpful "how-to" information. Have you found any information here that was helpful, even life-changing? Did you participate in an activity that you found on these pages that made a difference in your life? I invite you to share your experiences in our special 200th edition this coming January. If there is something that you would like to see included in this special issue, drop me a note in the mail or e-mail me at <publisher@newtimes.org>. As always, I welcome your input. We launch this issue with the help of our newest staff member, Charles Alkire. He joins us with a keen interest in many of The New Times’ topics as well as strong business skills, and in his first week has already proved to be a strong asset. Welcome, Charles! |
If you track details, you may have noticed a few months ago when we added the "our 190th issue" below the less reader-friendly "Vol. XVI, No. 10." At this point, we have delivered The New Times to our readers on schedule every month for 195 consecutive issues. I want to make our 200th issue very special by printing a special edition with special features.
