Makeover

It’s the hinge of the year, when the old passes away to make room for the new. The day has shrunk as far as it will go, and has started to expand toward summer again—no matter what your bones tell you come January. New toys, new clothes and gizmos, books and baubles—they’re just waiting to be unwrapped. Food and festival, company and cacophony, we all cut loose a little before the long wintering-in.

In the spirit of the season, NCPR has renewed the look and content of all our email publications. The shiny new makeover of our daily headlines email began on Monday, including more information on each news story, and adding in all the day’s events from the Community Calendar. There's a new (and improved, I hope) Listening Post. Tomorrow, the new design of our weekly topical news briefs will debut, and come the new year, we will begin a new work in our Books by Email serial. Please drop me a line at dale@ncpr.org with your reaction on unwrapping the new goodies, and any suggestions for improvement. All my best for the season, and for the new and improved year ahead.
