At the time, it was the addition of a video, accessed through the web site that provided additional information about a news story in the print edition. Did any of you happen to see the video? If you had, then you would have noticed a second video – not mentioned in the printed issue and accessed only by viewing our interactive digital edition. Why am I telling this to you now, a month later? To encourage you to visit our web site and view our digital edition as faithfully as you read our printed piece. The web site is updated regularly, and you never know what little surprises may be waiting for you … a new promotion, perhaps, or a chance to win a free dinner for two. And if there is anything you think might further enhance our printed copy or our web site, please do not hesitate to send me your thoughts or feedback. Or, if you have a fascinating video, photo or information that you’d like to share online, please let me know. I would love to hear from you.
