You've probably already noticed that this week's newsletter looks a bit different. What you're seeing is the result of months of work to make our news more locally relevant and easier to read on a variety of devices. With a few updates along the way, our old format served us well for almost two decades, but things have moved fast in the online world, and hopefully the new interactive design will keep up with the pace of change. We'd like to thank our programming team for the hard work that has gone into our update and we're sure they'll be busy in the weeks and months ahead as we roll out further enhancements.
