Let's get to it.

Recall Your Reading History

Back in the day, what was your favorite outlet to read in print? Which print publications did you subscribe to, or seek out on a regular basis?

Is there a moment when you started reading that publication online, or only online? Do you remember that moment of transition? What was it like?

What do you expect from that online experience that's not there in the print version? What does the online version offer you that the print version doesn't?
