Dear HCN,
Your last issues are so
readable and well-written, I can’t believe it’s the same paper I
struggled to understand five years ago in order to better
politically advocate for the environment. The way it’s being
written now, I have found that high school and even junior high
students can educate themselves from it. You have achieved the
ultimate – your paper is educational, readable, very “citable,” and
user-friendly without sacrificing the necessary political
information, and without catering specifically to an audience of
elitist environmentalist professionals who know all the issues, the
jargon, and the history. You have managed to maintain the
provincial integrity of the newspaper, while expanding your target
market to include those who are new to the issues. Thanks again –
its evidence of dedication to your mission, to team-playing, and
great leadership.
