In the late 1970s and into the 1980s, New York City had a colorful and jocular mayor, Ed Koch, whose catch phrase was “How’m I doin’?”
Ever the optimist and always ready to put a light touch on the Big Apple’s many woes back in the day, Koch was genuine when he asked for feedback.
So, in the spirit of the late Ed Koch, I ask our readers: How’re we doin’? (Feel free to add a New York accent for the full effect.)
Journalism is a tough enough job — making calls and getting people to comment on stories — but it’s even tougher when you work in a vacuum. Sure, we hear from you when we make a mistake — heck, that’s part of the job. But I’m surprised by how little I hear from the readers directly in general. I suppose that’s a compliment, and confirmation of our good work.
I’m always happy when our reporters share complimentary emails from readers (thank you for reaching out to them directly). But I’d like to publish more Letters to the Editor in the future, so I’m asking for more feedback than I’m getting now.
If you like something we wrote, or hated it, tell us. If you think we could be doing something better, say so. If there’s some area we aren’t covering enough, give us a heads-up.
To make it easier, we moved the contact information for subscriptions that appeared at the bottom of page 6 of the InvestmentNews print edition to page 2, so you can easily find our email address in every issue: [email protected].
I’m always happy to hear from readers directly, and you’ll always find my email address at the bottom of this Editor’s Note. I truly look forward to hearing from you.
