This issue marks the one-year anniversary (already!) of my role as editor of IMAGE, after many years as a regular contributor. I can honestly say it has been a true privilege to ensure that our team of dedicated and hard-working volunteers continues to bring you community-based news and stories. Now that I (mostly) have a handle on the role, I have been thinking about the future of IMAGE.

We recently organized a meeting of all of the downtown Ottawa community newspapers to share experiences and practices and to discuss common issues and concerns. One topic we agreed to discuss further, for example, is the role of online news and social media, and whether that is needed to engage younger audiences.

But before considering any change or new direction, I want to hear from you—the reader! Why do you pick up IMAGE? What are your favourite parts? What do you think is missing or should be improved? Please complete the brief survey using either the QR code or the website address.

I also want to hear from those that don’t read this paper. Please spread the word and ask all your Sandy Hill friends and neighbours to complete the survey. Key argument—it won’t take much time at all if they have not heard of us!

Need an extra incentive? You can enter to win a $50 gift certificate to the Working Title Café & Restaurant! Early birds who complete the survey by April 7 will get a chance at 2 draws! The second draw will be announced in the IMAGE Specials newsletter in May. If you do not yet receive the quarterly message, ask to subscribe by emailing us at: editor@imagesandyhill.org.

Thank you so much for taking the survey and supporting IMAGE!

When you scan this QR code, you will arrive at our survey, asking what you like (and do not like) to find in image. We are eager to hear from you!
