First of all, thank you so much for you...Dear Jane<br /><br />First of all, thank you so much for your very kind words and for writing this thoughtful and poignant blog post. It is clear you understand and appreciate our reasons for no longer producing the current printed monthly brochure, but are understandably a bit sad about it happening. We love printed media too and we understand how people love having something in their hands, love reading it, keeping it and referring back to. However for all the reasons you listed and more, it has sadly become a necessity to stop making it.<br /><br />I'd like to reassure you that we will continue to have editorial introductions from Mark (and other members of staff too) on the website. We try to talk about the meaning and the why of what we do not only through the podcast, but through editorial-lead online content in the form of articles, interviews and videos. Online gives us many more opportunities to produce editorial content - so much more than the brochure.<br /><br />The way you feel and talk about the brochure and Watershed (loving the brochure, keeping a scrapbook, feeling at home here) reiterates our belief that Watershed belongs to you, our audience, and we are the lucky custodians of this wonderful enterprise that is Watershed. Although some people have been a little sad about the demise of the brochure, we have been overwhelmed by how supportive you have all been and that is truly humbling.<br /><br />While raising a respectful glass to the brochure, I'm also excited and positive about the opportunities ahead. Print hasn't gone forever. We'll still produce it for certain seasons or programmes, and of course we'll be printing our weekly listings too. <br /><br />Once again thank you for your brilliant words, and perhaps I might see you at our Open Meeting on the 19th to discuss it all in person?<br /><br />Claire<br />(claire.stewart@watershed.co.uk)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845022371885030598noreply@blogger.com
