Big changes at Newsdesk.org

[nymhm at lists.artsandmedia.net]

Dear Readers;

On January 3 we undertook a complete relaunch of News You Might Have 
Missed, switching from an aggregated email listing to a more flexible 
narrative format. And in February we debuted a lean, Web-active new 
site, designed and coded by a volunteer.

The response has been great. Web traffic is increasing, we're getting 
regular comments for the first time ever, and email subscriptions are 
also on the rise. Now we need your feedback to help us improve and 
build on these changes:

	Newsdesk.org Reloaded -- Reader survey:
	http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=363873673890


We'd be grateful if you took five minutes to look over this survey. 
All responses are strictly confidential. We have big plans for 
Newsdesk.org to resume its original reporting, and develop print and 
broadcast services as well. But we're taking it step by step, and 
greatly value your feedback as we move forward.

Thanks again for your support of commercial-free news media!

-- Josh, Julia, Michael, Virgil, and the Newsdesk.org staff and advisers
