The Digest is evolving. Here's why that's good news.
Friends,
A small but important change. Starting next Sunday, The Cape Coral Digest arrives once a week, every Sunday at 7 PM.
That's it. That's the email.
Okay, fine. A little more context.
When I started the Digest, the goal was simple: be the local read that actually respects your inbox. Not another "we cover everything" outlet. Not another aggregator pretending to be a newspaper. A short, opinionated, useful read about Cape Coral, written by a human who lives here. Who cares about the information that means something for all of us. Unfortunately, we need to dial back, regroup, and take a different approach.
- One issue per week, every Sunday at 7 PM, in your inbox while you're planning the week ahead.
- Tighter format: one Big One, four quick hits, the hurricane block, one local pick.
- Three minutes to read, max. If I run long, that's my problem to fix, not yours to absorb.
- The voice.
- The hurricane countdown (counts year-round, kicks into overdrive when a storm spins up).
- The local picks.
- Real reply-able email. Every reply lands in my actual inbox.
What this means for you: more signal per email. Sundays are now Cape Coral Digest day. Set a calendar alert if that helps.
If this is your kind of thing, just hang tight. The next issue is the new normal.
If it isn't, no hard feelings. There's an unsubscribe link at the bottom and I won't take it personally. Better to opt out than to drown in unread email.
One favor. Hit reply and tell me one Cape Coral story you wish someone covered. Best replies become future Big Ones. (Bonus: replying tells Gmail I'm a real person and not a robot, which lands future issues in your primary inbox instead of the Promotions tab. Wins all around.)
See you Sunday.
Yours,
Monica
