Here at Crain Communications our credo is ““The reader comes first.”” So as we close the chapter on two decades of Electronic Media, we”d like to thank you for your support.
And we”d like you to meet the people who are responsible for putting together this newspaper every week. It has been said, ““You are what you eat.”” We say, ““You are what you watch.”” So in introducing the staff, as a little added insight, we”ve included their favorite TV shows.
Thanks again, and we”ll see you next week in our new incarnation as TelevisionWeek!
