If we were hoping for a break in January to regroup after the insanity of 2011, we were kidding ourselves: There was plenty to report on the anniversaries of the Tunisia and Egyptian revolutions, as well as the new EU treaty intended to solve the eurocrisis. Even so, we have moved to shore up reporters in certain regions such as Central Asia and deepen our coverage of the Syrian uprising. This year, we also plan to write more stories for magazines and plans are in the works to deepen our relationships with those publications.
In February, we will begin working on getting our new website ready for its launch - we are all excited over that. Also, we will begin planning more reporting trips to deepen our coverage of areas where we still can't find reporters, and maybe on those we'll get lucky. In the meantime, we are moving to shore up breaking news so we can respond faster and better to the news of the day.
Til next time...
