Starting today, we’re returning to a regular email newsletter schedule. I know, it’s been kind of sporadic of late.
I’m a big fan of sending our newsletter at 5 a.m., and, apparently, you are too. In our reader survey (which is still collecting responses) you’ve told us you really like our email newsletter.
For those who don’t receive our free email newsletter, it’s a collection of all of the content that has been posted to our site in the past few days.
We post a lot of content, so there are always new items to look at. However, instead of sending out a broad newsletter every day, we’re going to highlight the communities we serve three days per week, and send our broad newsletter two days per week.
Here’s the schedule for all newsletters:
Monday: Potomac Local Manassas

As mentioned above, our reader survey is still accepting responses, so I hope you take a moment to tell us what you think about how we’re doing to cover our community.
Have a great week.
