Recently, while covering a story, I met a few women who told me that they love TheBurg.
Naturally, I was delighted to hear this.
I asked them what they liked most, and, they said, the stories, the design and, of course, our beautiful covers.
“How about our daily news articles?” I asked them.
They gave me a collective blank stare. They had no idea what I was talking about.
To them, our monthly magazine—the one you’re holding in your hands—is TheBurg. But, as I explained to them, we do so much more.
A huge amount of our time and resources is spent covering daily news around Harrisburg. Every weekday, we report on the city administration, City Council, the school district, small businesses, development, events, people, culture, etc.—most of which is published online and never makes its way into the print magazine.
I then mentioned our other products—we organize and promote 3rd in the Burg, we have a monthly podcast, we blog and write editorials, we support and sponsor numerous events and, increasingly, we hold our own events, especially under the auspices of Friends of TheBurg.
I told my new friends that they were only getting a small slice of the big Burg pie. I then asked them to sign up for our free daily emails, which includes links to all of our news and features—and a whole lot more.
I’d like to encourage all of our readers to do the same. Please go to our website, poke around, sign up for our emails, and discover for yourself all we do.
Our award-winning monthly magazine may be our flagship product—and I hope you love our new October issue. But there’s so much more to TheBurg than what’s tucked behind our lovely covers.
