1. WELCOME TO THE FIRST ANKLER OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

If you can read these words, then welcome aboard! Today marks the Ankler’s long-awaited, great leap out of beta. We are a real live newsletter now, with no, or at least fewer excuses.

Thank you so much for subscribing and coming aboard, helping to launch this crazy dream. Today the notion that this industry can have an independent voice of coverage, neither beholden to the powers that be nor scrambling to clickbait the masses, takes one giant step closer to reality. I’ve got miles to go before I sleep, but thanks to your early support, I’m going to be able to do this for a while at the very very least, so thank you forever Hall of Fame Day One Subscribers.This project has grown entirely via word of mouth, so thank you to all of you who have spread the word. Now that we’re a paid subscription thing, I hope the readers find a balance between cc’ing this to the entire town while still sharing their enthusiasm over. So feel free to pass this issue along a few times, but try not to make it too much more than that. There may be some more words to come about sharing policies, etc, but happy to keep it on the honor system for now.

As ever, I want this to be your newsletter so please let me hear from you if you have complaints, questions, theories, insight and most of all tips from behind the curtain. Confidentiality on pain of death. Drop me a line at richard@theankler.com. Can’t wait to hear from you and thank you again.

And best of all about the new era – each day won’t have to start with one of these subscription drive updates! Going forward, I’ll try and keep you all posted about where we are and the issues we’re wrestling with, but apart from that, it’s showtime! Hope you enjoy!
