I guess our newsletter isn’t that boring

From Five Sure Signs Your Print Newsletter Is Really Boring:

1) The “Letter from the Executive Director” is on the cover or takes up a whole page.
2) You’re talking about stuff that happened months ago.
3) The photos are all grip-and-grins and fig-leaf lineups.
4) The word “You” is rarely used.
5) You’ve reduced the type size to make everything fit.

I can honestly say that our newsletter doesn’t do any of those things. Folks say it’s pretty good for a nonprofit newsletter about colorectal cancer advocacy.

What do you think? Here’s our most recent issue (Spring 2008 is at the printer now)
