Dear TDN family,
I write this letter sitting in the now cavernous-seeming TDN offices with just our accountant, Ray Villa, for company. (Gotta keep those bills paid, after all…)
The rest of the staff is home, working hard to keep everyone updated with the news of these strange times in which we're living.
First, I wanted to let you know how to reach us. The office will be manned by just Ray and myself until further notice, from Monday to Friday, 9:30 to 5:30. Please call us at 732-747-8060 if you would like to speak with us.
The easiest way to get in touch with the editorial department is by email to editor@thetdn.com. The advertising email is advertising@thetdn.com and both emails are manned nearly round the clock.
Finally, in a non-office-hours emergency, please call either me or Gary King on our mobile phones, which are found on the TDN website's About Us page, which may be accessed by clicking here. You'll also find it under the menu section of our website.
The TDN is made up of a devoted staff of 25 lifelong journalists and graphic designers, and we're committed, now more than ever, to keeping you informed. The news is changing by the moment, and I don't think the paper has ever seen the level, quality and quantity of content that we're turning out now. If there is a story you'd like us to cover, or a question you have about the current situation, please feel free to email me directly at suefinley@thetdn.com.
But our job is also to try to entertain, especially during these very somber times, and we're trying to strike the right balance of news, information, and features–if for no other reason than to distract you for a little while. We continue to produce podcasts and videos, both to bring you news in an audio-visual format, but also to help you pass the time. And our series, `Random Acts of Kindness,' which details how people are helping others cope in this crisis, gives us all a little bit of hope that the world is still a good place.
At the TDN, we'll be here for you until we're on the other side of this pandemic. Please let us know if there is anything at all we can do for you.
–Sue Finley, Publisher and CEO
