Since 1991, WomanNews has charted uncommon ground in newspaper journalism with its concentrated focus on women and the issues defining their lives. And you made it a dialogue, writing and calling, confirming and sometimes disputing our judgment, but all the while helping us deliver coverage that mattered to you. We want to keep that discussion going by providing, as you’ve come to expect, provocative, entertaining and informative stories.
A couple of years ago, the late Colleen Dishon, a legendary Tribune editor who conceived both Tempo and WomanNews, passed on to me a thick stack of yellowing pages titled “The Case for Womenews.” Filled with her exhaustive research, it is still germane today.
Women still want relevant, engaging, trustworthy information. In fact, it’s even more crucial with our busy, demanding lives and based on what many of you have expressed in e-mails and phone calls to us.
I wish I could tell you how many times, when I’m out in public, someone has told me, “WomanNews is my favorite section,” or “I look forward to WomanNews on Wednesdays.”
Here’s hoping that starting Jan. 4, when your favorite section moves to Tempo, you and those sentiments will follow.
