Regrettably, The Issue did not command enough traffic (or ad clickers!) to be self-sustaining. The Issue has been a great experience and successful in ways that we could have never imagined. We want to thank friends, family and loyal readers for their support.

The editors of The Issue will continue to write on this blog and all the archives and past Issues of the Day are accessible through the navbar.

We would love to hear your feedback. Your fawning praise is always flattering; but we would also like to know why we failed. What could we have done better? We turn to you, our friends and loyal readers, for your thoughts.

The presence of a blog may have seemed starkly, even inappropriately, absent from The Issue. Our original thought was to be a faceless stamp of quality, promising relevant and interesting blog content. We have come to realize that separating ourselves from this publication compromises some of the most highly regarded and sought-after aspects of the blogosphere: sincerity and voice. The fact that we can feel a human bond by reading a stranger’s written word makes the blogosphere so special. These unlikely connections, forged by the narrative proximity of blog writing, make an often inhuman internet feel very much alive.

To that end, we want to interact with readers and share what is important to the personalities behind The Issue: both the paramount and the trivial. Enjoy the read and join the discussion.
