My subscription had run out on HCN and several other
magazines and I found myself drowning in periodicals. I have always
been a huge supporter of HCN, but for the last year or so, I was
less and less impressed with the journalism. There were fewer and
fewer articles about environmental issues, and lower-grade
reporting when it did happen. I was particularly disappointed in
the recent cover story on carbon sequestration, which seemed to
spend several pages saying not much of anything about an important
topic. I was ready to let my HCN subscription slide. The
combination of excellent recent stories such as “L.A. Bets on
the Farm” (and anything by Michelle Nijhuis) and the
appointment of your new editor convinced me to give HCN another
shot. Whatever positive changes former editor John Mecklin may have
instituted, I don’t think his editorial vision was a good fit
for HCN. Here’s to a return to your previous excellence!
