Jack, to state the blindly obvious, you are a journalist, so I imagine it is ingrained that you keep a professional distance from your readership. But I sense you have the conscious inclination, unusual, to reveal something of yourself in these newsletters. Am I right? Why is that? It’s welcome, BTW!
I enjoy (and am fortunate to have) the freedom write about local government finances one day and a personal essay next. My hope is that readers value that variety too. And I think the advantage of this medium is there can be a connection between writer and reader.
Good! BTW, where is everybody?! I’m a bit self-conscious seeming to be the only contributor this week! Nothing to do with the new subscription regime, I hope.
