Thanks for coming out
Our No Anchovies event was a success!
We weren’t sure what to expect when we put out an open invitation to subscribers to come meet us Friday night, and wow, what a great conversation!
A few dozen of you came by and listened to us talk about our vision for the Tucson Agenda. We love hearing about what readers want and need from local news coverage, and you all gave us a few really good story ideas.
One of the things we heard from a few of you was that you have a limited window of time in the morning to catch up on news and wanted the Tucson Agenda earlier than 7 a.m. (when we’ve sent out the previous few emails.)
So we’ve rolled back our delivery time to 6 a.m. We said we want to shape this newsletter around subscribers, and we mean it.
Let’s keep this conversation going!
Reply to this email to send us a note about your hopes and dreams for the Tucson Agenda. We’re making a list of requests and ideas and are taking your suggestions into account as we draft our plans.
Caitlin and Curt are hard at work readying for our July 4 launch, but in the meantime, please continue to tell your friends and coworkers about the Tucson Agenda. If you’re a free subscriber, we hope you’ll consider upgrading to paid when we launch.
We sincerely appreciate all your ongoing support. We’ve still got a long way to go to become sustainable, but we believe we can get there.
If you want to help ensure the Tucson Agenda can hit full speed immediately, please consider donating seed money to help cover startup costs. Building a subscription-supported newsletter takes time, and anything you can give to help us bridge that gap would be greatly appreciated.
'Morning! Thank you and have you considered covering the ' and Southern Arizona ' geographic areas?
I'm sorry I couldn't make the event. As for what I'd like to see:
I do want you to maintain the traditional journalistic obligation to be objective (as much as possible), but I don't want you to "both sides" stories--as I see so often in The NY Times and CNN. For example, it's fair to contact the Kari Lake campaign for comment on a story, but you shouldn't feel obliged to print lies and distortions if that's all they provide. That will likely lead to howls that you're "biased," but so be it.
