Our Own E-News?

The All Point Bulletin has sent forth Issue #1 of its E-news.  You can sign up for delivery to your email address here.  I had heard around that they were going to start with some kind of blog operation but if this is it, it isn't a blog operation.

It's called The All Point Bulletin E-News.  The first issue, which just appeared yesterday in my email box, includes four short news stories as well as meetings, events, and classifieds.  It doesn't say how often it is to be published, but it certainly would be nice to have them providing us with at least middle-of-the-month updates on breaking news.  Indeed, it would be nice to have reminders of the upcoming week's meetings.  As well as what's playing at the movies.  If there were movies playing.

Anyway, might as well sign up and encourage them to provide this service.  Since the Bulletin doesn't charge us for the newspaper anyway, it can't be driven by its economic need to make up for falling newspaper subscriptions.  Still, it's not hard to see that we are moving quickly to a world in which the New York Times as well as the All Point Bulletin will exist solely in digital form.  And we'll be able to read them on our Kindles or our I-Pads or whatever comes next.
