The close of this issue marks the end of my first year back at JCK, and it’s been a great one. It has been a delight to reconnect with all my industry friends and get back into the circuit of annual events and trade shows. And it’s been a true honor to rejoin a brand that dates to 1869, yet continually manages to reinvent itself.We just completed our first subscriber survey since the relaunch of our magazine and website, and it turns out that you share our enthusiasm! When asked which trade magazine best reflects a list of statements—“does the best job covering industry news,” “is the most prestigious trade in our industry,” “is the industry authority,” and “reflects best on its advertisers”—between 70 percent and 80 percent of you answered JCK.More than two-thirds of you feel we’ve improved our design and photography, our layout, our trim size, and our covers.
