I’m happy to report that our readership is expanding not beyond our hopes but beyond our immediate expectations. This fact and comments we receive assure us that we’re satisfying a need with the high-end reading public. We seek and are receiving advice. We urge you to be patient because we’re under funded, understaffed, and overworked. A result is that we can’t satisfy many of our goals to provide you with a perfect publication. Not yet. But given time and financial resources we will. To the latter end readers may expect direct appeals for money as soon as we can find time to write and email.
We’ve just made a check to verify our mailing list. Strange things happen in cyberspace. We’ve found, for example, that names of some who have made sizeable donations were missing from the list. Somehow the addresses were dropped. A personal follow up revealed that those who had not been receiving True North Perspective had simply concluded that we’d gone out of business and were more than pleased to learn that we are moving from strength to strength. We are currently publishing once a week. The moral of the story is that if a week goes by without receiving True North Perspective please let us know at your earliest convenience. The sooner we know, the sooner we can fix the problem.
We receive responses to our reader’s survey. By design, these responses are confidential so we don’t know who you are. All of those filling the survey say they want to subscribe but because of our pledge of confidentiality we don’t know who you are. So if you want to subscribe please tell us directly and we’ll be happy to accommodate.
One compliment that we get from readers old and new is that True North Perspective is unique. We are far more, as one reader put it, than a Page7 publication. That’s deliberate. We do our best to produce a balanced publication. There are many points of view on life and we’ll give space to those honestly expressed. This balance takes an enormous amount of work. However, that’s not a complaint, just a recognition of fact, because what we do is a labour of love.
We’ll keep at it and welcome your feedback, including money if you can afford it.
Looking forward
Carl Dow
Editor and Publisher
