Our Week In The Web: January 29, 2016

Friends! Good news. We're starting a newsletter. We've thought about starting a newsletter before in the past — we even had one way way back in our early days as an infant news program — but now we're really doing it. For starters, we're going to have our New Hampshire-based news analyst, Jack Beatty, share his thoughts from the northwoods wilds in the coming week between Iowa's first in the nation presidential caucus and New Hampshire's first in the nation presidential primary. After that, the content is up in the air — and maybe up to you? We want your input on useful things we could put in the newsletter, and we'll work through it together in the coming weeks. We don't have a sign-up page yet — but we will! Stay tuned!
