Reader Survey
What Happens when you decide to publish a weekly guide to events and
entertainment providing information to thousands of Eugene and Springfield
residents? Plentyl Most obvious to us is the weekly deadline, insistent and
unyielding. Hundreds of events and happenings laden with details demand
conscientious collection, organizing, typesetting, layout and paste-up (to make
it sound simple). We have attracted a growing readership and come into con
tact with hundreds of people who know what's happening and want to pass
that information on through us to you. This has brought countless questions,
requests, and suggestions. 'Will you accept letters to the editor ... do you
have classifieds . . . can you write a preview publicizing our upcoming concert
. . . my free ad was not listed . . . why don't you do reviews (movies, dance,
theatre, etc.) . . . can I subscribe? Our eternal challenge, it appears, is to con
tinue to provide the desired information to our diverse and growing readership
within the all-too-finite limits of our deadline. Policies and processes are re
quired to meet our challenge. Help us, if you would, establish some priorities.
Please complete the reader survey below and tell us what you would like to see
on the pages of What's Happening.
You will notice that subscriptions does not appear on the survey. That is
because we now offer subscriptions by mail—including Holiday Gift Sub
scriptions. A six-month subscription is only $11. A full year of knowing
What's Happening is $20. Subscriptions are also available free with tax-exempt
donations to our local non-profit corporation, Energy Futures, Inc. See the ar
ticle on page 3 for details.
