Editor’s Note
Back in the old days — that’s less than a decade and before there were such things as blogs and interactive conversations with readers — editors used to respond to their newspaper readers with an “editor’s note.” Sometimes it clarified a point made in a letter to the editor. Sometimes it offered a correction. Sometimes it was just a simple explanation. An editor’s note was a handful of sentences; maybe a four or five paragraphs. It was always a personal link between the editor and the reader. Only difference between it and today’s blog is the immediacy and the platform. Welcome to Editor’s Note.

The online wizards in the News Tower created a new feature a few days ago that is a news junkie’s delight. Called “My AP News,” the simple program gives you the tools to feed just about any news hunger you have — from a trusted and credible source, the Associated Press. A couple of clicks and you can set up constantly updated feeds for news from world to weird — and a couple dozen specialized feeds for sports, business and entertainment.

I customized mine for business to follow the news on stocks and bailouts, top headlines so I don’t miss stuff and politics because I’m a junkie this time of year. We’ll continue to add feeds from which you can choose.

My AP News means I can make one click (or bookmark the page) and the news I most want and need is right there. And, since it doesn’t pull from blogs and oddball — or partisan — sources, I get just what I want — news.
