Bon Appetite -- We Are A Tasty Read!

How do you choose where to eat out? I conducted a casual poll of my prized colleagues. Mundane considerations like time, money, geography notwithstanding, they look at referrals. The list includes word of mouth, online reviews (Yelp is a hot favorite) and ratings. But often the casual ad in the window that says “San Jose Mercury’s best of 2011” as you walk by does the trick. You took a chance and were hopefully rewarded.

 And this group is a typical microcosm of the real world.

That got me thinking about the similarity to the publications I manage. Publications serve up a different kind of fare. And they have ratings too. And how they fare in these assessments is one key indication of their value. I want to highlight both SI Review and CWS 30's  win on the award circuit.

SI Review is a finalist in the min's Editorial & Design Awards.  This program recognizes excellence in content and design among consumer, business-to-business and specialized information media brands. We chose the Most Improved Publication category and were delighted to hear we were a finalist. (The winner is yet to be announced.)
