May we have your undivided attention? (Yes, we know: That's next to impossible.)

We're swimming against a powerful tide of ever shorter, shallower "content." At WBUR, that's not our thing.

We have this stubborn conviction that, while technology has changed a lot, people haven't. We still long for ideas that ignite our imagination. Stories that expand our minds, stick to our ribs and take time to tell. So that's how we spend our days.

We're the same WBUR you've welcomed into your head and heart, your car and your kitchen. But in the coming months, we'll be introducing a few changes. Because with everyone making brand choices on a screen today, our awesome audio brand needs a visual leg up.

Take our website for example. Its new layout feels more open, vibrant and inviting than before. Our new WBUR brand color, True Yellow, helps evoke that feeling, too. We've evolved from an autumnal, harvest gold to a brighter hue that's a bit more eye-catching, optimistic and welcoming.

There's an all-new element to our glow-up. We're introducing a fresh way to encapsulate the role we play in our audiences' lives: The WBUR Viewfinder.

Our journalism brings many perspectives together. People, stories and ideas. WBUR helps life come into focus, and brings what's confusing into view. Our band of inquisitive journalists opens eyes, minds and hearts. That's what WBUR fans tell us often — that we're not only the news they need; but we make them feel something and understand more.

The WBUR Viewfinder is a symbol that represents our role in a new, memorable way. The square represents the solid facts at our foundation. And the circle is the shape we bring to each story. It's both head and heart. Science and art. A tool to find true understanding and perspective. And like WBUR and our audiences, it's dynamic, too.

You'll start to see our brighter yellow and new WBUR logo in the real world. It'll take a while before all design elements are reflected everywhere. But we're patient and persistent. And we're on a mission to help people connect the dots about who we are, what we offer and where we show up.

So keep paying attention. There's more to come – and, as always, we're bringing you along for the ride.
