Readers write: New Monitor design
New Monitor design
I just received the newly formatted April 22 & 29 Weekly Print Edition. It鈥檚 absolutely marvelous 鈥� something to look forward to each week in the mail.聽The pictures enlivened the whole issue. The articles were clearly separate but came together as a whole message.聽And more: I could clearly isolate each article as I read it, which made my reading experience very efficient. Yet I also felt drawn to the entire issue. It was all clearly and effectively written. I鈥檓 also a big fan of the puzzle page.聽I usually do a lot of browsing when I read the Weekly magazine, but I read most of this issue already, and it just arrived yesterday. I look forward to the next. Congratulations to a marvelous staff and leadership. Thank you.

I have been a subscriber since 1972 and have found each iteration of the Monitor to be an advance. The new Weekly design refresh is a home run in my opinion! Thank you to all involved for the hard work and dedication to excellent journalism and presentation.

Why We Wrote This
Letters to the editor for the May 20, 2019 weekly magazine.
I like the new design format for the Weekly magazine, but I miss the five 鈥淪taff Picks鈥� 鈥� I always read the suggestions and often followed them. I hope they will appear at least occasionally.

Editor鈥檚 note: 鈥淪taff Picks鈥� will continue to appear 鈥� just slightly less often, and under the name 鈥淥ur Picks.鈥澛�We think this will give us the opportunity to be a little more selective about what we recommend.
I am writing to comment on the new design of the Monitor Weekly.聽First: Refreshing any reading material also refreshes the 鈥渆ye.鈥� Good job.聽I also really appreciate the addition of the 鈥淲hy We Wrote This鈥� asides. They are clearly positioned within the article so they can鈥檛 be missed 鈥� and in today鈥檚 world, where it seems many are looking for the reason why, those asides provide a succinct answer.
