100 up!
A message to our readers
by John Watson
As you will see from the contents page, this is the 100th edition of Shaw Sheet. That means that we have published well over 1 million words and produced several hundred cartoons and photographs. We have enjoyed it and we hope that you have too. Still, it is a time to reflect on the formula and you will notice a number of changes over the next few weeks. For example we hope to include more reviews and interviews. We will also be increasing the prominence of the weekly news cover to emphasise its usefulness to those who have not had the opportunity to keep up with the daily press.
From you, our readers, we ask two things. The first is that, if you have not done so, you register as a reader using the red panel at the bottom of the contents page. It does not involve making any payment or any form of commitment. It does, however, mean that you will receive a weekly email announcing publication and setting out the contents. In addition we are proposing to begin a series of editorial pub lunches (sorry, everyone pays for their own) and we will use the register as a basis for invitations. Registration also gives us a good way of measuring readership
Second we are always looking for contributors, whether of articles or of letters. Online comments are switched off because of the need for continuous monitoring for defamation. We do, however, welcome comments emailed to [email protected] and [email protected].
We wish you all, including those members of foreign security services who have the job of monitoring blogs and online magazines and whose readership we appreciate, a very enjoyable Easter break.
