Dateline: RIT e-newsletter published
A brief respite (for both of us) this week from “The making of a podcast” to let you know that the latest e-newsletter is available now at . The December newsletter includes links to “RIT in the news” stories previously highlighted on “,” along with other news story placements (such as Dr. Ron Hira’s recent New York Times quote about visas), campus news highlights from , and details about upcoming campus events (including a symposium, for which is a partner, on Advertising in the Digital Age, 8:30 a.m.-3:45 p.m. Monday, Dec. 11).
If you’re not already a subscriber to the monthly e-newsletter, you’re invited to by visiting .
I also would like to use this opportunity to solicit your feedback about the e-newsletter. The inaugural Dateline: RIT e-newsletter was published on Feb. 1, 2005. It had evolved from an earlier monthly e-newsletter called News@RIT. Thanks to a “news clipping” service with which has a new affiliation, we now have the capability to easily provide subscribers with more frequent—and timely—alerts to RIT news-story placements. Is this something you would be interested in receiving? If so, how often would you like to receive “RIT in the news” updates: Daily? Weekly? Biweekly? Monthly?
Please feel welcome to leave comments here, or them to me at Thanks and have a great winter quarter!
From a student's perspective, anything that comes monthly gets forgotten about because there is so much time between interactions with each issue. Daily becomes a bother because we don't have time to read a daily update and three days worth of updates in the inbox looks intimidating so all issues end up deleted. For students, I think weekly is the way to go.
Thanks for your feedback, Brandon. I tend to agree—I subscribe to one daily e-mail and, although I'm fairly diligent about keeping up with messages on a daily basis, they occasionally stack up. Weekly or biweekly (the latter in conjunction with and News & Events schedules) might be the way to go.
