New Changes for a New Year
2006 promises to be a big year for all of us at The Review, so it seems appropriate to update all of our readers about several exciting new changes in store for the new year.
As we embark upon our 27th
year of publishing, expect to see several changes in both the physical
appearance and 'look' of The Review, as we expand and
overhaul several of our most popular features.
For starters, our comprehensive events
calendar is now evolving into an interactive feature. Simply go to our
website at
www.review-mag.com and
you can see how easily accessible a search for specific types of events
can be. Additionally, you can search events by date as well as genre.
Secondly, and after much deliberation, I
have decided to 'step back' from the spotlight in terms of political
coverage of local issues and focus instead on statewide issues affecting
all of the communities throughout our mid-Michigan distribution area.
While issues such as the most recent 'smoking debate' affect not only
Saginaw (seeing as Midland is considering a similar ordinance), it is
our feeling that the focus should be on shared concerns rather than
issues affecting only certain segments of our readership. Additionally,
all future political coverage will be presented in a 'debate' format of
divergent viewpoints. If you are informed and interested in
participating in this political dialogue, please phone me here at The Review.
Finally, I want to encourage all readers to
check out the fine local original musical talent we are featuring on
reviewthisradio.com.
Since our launch in September, the amount of new material we are
receiving each week is encouraging, allowing us to expand both the
length and breadth of our segments.
Undoubtedly, 2006 will not be without its
challenges; but I am optimistic that the energy, drive, and vision from
each of us in the mid-Michigan area can overcome all obstacles and
create a living environment as rewarding as it is unique.
