Time has truly flown since I first took on the role of Editor of Able News back in February of this year. This work continues to be a privilege I don’t take lightly, as I know this publication has long been a go-to source of disability news and information. Whether you’ve been reading this newspaper since the beginning, or you joined our community more recently, I’m so glad you’re here.
So many of you have shared that getting the print version of Able News in the mail is a highlight of each month, and I absolutely hear you on that. In an increasingly digital world, holding a newspaper can feel like an added dimension to connecting with the world around us. That said, as the media landscape continues to change, our task is to keep up with the changes. Beginning with next month’s issue, Able News will be shifting to a fully online presence.
While it may seem like a sudden decision, signs have been pointing in this direction for quite some time. Many of our readers have expressed a preference for a digital format, especially because it’s an easier way to stay informed about timely disability news. Publishing online will allow us to report on important topics at a quicker pace, and open up new opportunities for how we can communicate with our readers.
I’m truly looking forward to this new chapter in our story. Our goal is to continue serving as a trusted resource for the broadest possible audience, and expanding our presence in the digital realm will help make that possible. We’ve proudly launched a new, fully accessible Able News website, and we’re excited to be introducing a new subscription plan to support our pathway to continued growth.
I invite you to visit us often at AbleNews.com and consider becoming a subscriber so you can stay connected to all the latest disability news! My hope is that you’ll stay with us as we navigate ahead, because our readers are one of the most important parts of our story. Let’s turn the page, together.
