It’s been fun getting up early every morning to write another chapter in the never-ending saga about our dysfunctional government. But, quite frankly, it’s become a diversion of my most valuable resource–my time–that I can no longer afford, especially because I’m also responsible for the daily posting of a website that’s become a primary news and information source for editors and reporters in hundreds of newsrooms around the country.
The daily Government Policy Newslinks report is something of an Internet miracle in its own right. My staff and I monitor over 2,300 public policy-related websites every night. We collect press releases and reports and link them onto a single webpage that provides one-click access to the information. Our subscribers start their mornings with a quick scan of our report. Sometimes it’s the most important 3 or 4 minutes of their day.
I’ve given the blog a good shot since I began it last April. But, quite frankly, this blog will never attract enough readers to generate enough advertising revenues to offset the subscription fees that Government Policy Newslinks earns. After consulting with several marketing experts, I decided to focus my energies on improving Government Policy Newslinks and renewing my efforts to find new subscribers.
You are welcome to visit the webpage (http://policynewslinks.com). There you will find a link to a recent edition of our Government Policy Newslinks report. And, a form you can use to signup for a free 30-day trial subscription. You are under no obligation to subscribe, but if you are a journalist or other public policy professional, I think you will find it extremely useful.
Thank you for reading.
Edward Zuckerman, Editor, Government Policy Newslinks (http://policynewslinks.com)
