DIRECTIONS 10.06: DIRECTIONS now online only
Vol. X No. 6 Feb. 15, 2010 DIRECTIONS now online onlyIf you are reading this, you are already aware that, as of this issue, UFCW Canada’s DIRECTIONS newsletter is no longer being published as a printed and mailed publication, but is now solely published online. “The main purpose of moving to online publishing is that it has become the fastest and most efficient means of communicating our union’s message,” says UFCW Canada National President Wayne Hanley. “It has the bonus of being a bit more environment-friendly, but the real advantage is that leaders and activists can find the news quickly and easily on our website.” Starting with this issue (vol. X, no. 6), a one-page synopsis of current DIRECTIONS stories has been emailed to an opt-in mailing list, including thumbnails of some of the images included in the online edition. Readers are taken from the email directly to the online story and image with one click, and can immediately return to the contents page with another single click. We encourage your comments on this new format, and welcome you to help expand our email list by sending additional addresses to [email protected]. |
