A Note To Our Readers: Change Is In The Air

January 29, 2008

The following letter was posted prominently on Technology Daily's main page on Tuesday so I thought I'd share it with blog readers. The shutdown described below should not impact Tech Daily Dose... So please keep reading and thank you for your support!

Dear Reader:

After nine years of publication, National Journal's Technology Daily bids farewell this Thursday.

In announcing this decision recently, we noted that National Journal Group is moving to increase technology-related coverage throughout all of its publications. In particular, National Journal's CongressDaily -- our twice daily publication for Capitol Hill insiders -- will be adding staff for this purpose.

And, beginning next Monday, Feb. 4, the online edition of CongressDaily will contain a new, continuously updated section that will include stories of interest to the technology sector in one convenient place. This section will also be home to several of the weekly features that have appeared regularly in Technology Daily over the years.

If you are interested in a trial subscription to CongressDaily, please call 800-424-2921 or e-mail us at memberships@nationaljournal.com.

With best regards,

Lou Peck
Editor In Chief
