Thanks, Donna! Wasn’t it interesting to reread that issue, and the thoughts we had all expressed on our discussion board?

Yes, Sue, that newsletter is missed. You did a terrific job with it for so many years. Over the holidays I was cleaning out MY files, and decided to save one of the “classic” issues – the one written just after Sept. 11, 2001.

Gloria, I was especially thinking of you when I wrote this. Les, I feel the same way about the opportunity to explore and write about a company. Ron, at least you know that bi-weekly one you started lives on! Thank you all for taking the time to comment.

Let me chime in and say how much I appreciated your post, Sue, and how much I miss editing newsletters.

Sue,

I love this post. My first corporate communication management job was as editor of a publication. I loved it! That publication was the springboard from which I rose in the company. It led me to explore and write about every part of the organization, to strategic alliances and friendships with people throughout the company, and provided me with a terrific creative and cerebral outlet.

I tell my PR students at Towson University that if they get a chance to edit a publication, jump on it. I found it to be a completely fulfilling job and a great start on a much broader communication career. I tell them that if a publication needs an editor, say without hesitation, “I’m yours!”

Yup, yup, yup! That newsletter is still missed. There was something so intimate, personal & comforting about getting it in the mail & reading every bit of it over lunch, then filing it away. Oh & I would re-read it from time to time, not something I ever do with an e-newsletter.
