<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Alas, a month long turnaround time turned into a three month
delay. I do apologise to our writers,
and most of all our readers.Disappearing
carelessly is never a way to treat your readers, no matter the justification. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia;">It should be noted that not all the delay was due to poor
planning or procrastination. Based on feedback I decided to slow down
production to allow for more authors to generate more content. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Balancing content with production is a tough one that all
publications struggle with. Is a week
worth one more article? Will you gain more readers if you spend another two
days going back and forth on the style of the middle third paragraph? At what
point do you drop out of people’s routines and are forgotten? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia;">All publications struggle with this. I think a lot of the
problems currently with our Daily newspapers is they are locked into the
on-your-door-step-by-sunrise mentality. Monday editions in particular have
become thin. Why not mix it up? Does the sports section have to come out with
the lifestyle section? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia;">The Baird’s Tale will be adapting a different perspective
angle on production schedules. We will print when we have something worth
reading. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I think readers care much more about quality than
regularity. The number of times I’ve mindlessly hit the Walrus’s website
frustrated scanning the same month headlines for something new, only to buy the
latest edition when it comes out and devour it in a night. Good content catches
and retains the eye. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I would rather leave readers hungry for more, eager to come
back when they see me again, then overstuffed and underfed intellectually. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia;">As a result you will not be able to set your watch or
calendar by The Baird’s Tale. You will be able to find compelling stories,
challenging ideas and new perspectives next time you run into us on the internet. <br></span></p><p><em><span style="font-family: Monospace;">James R.
