Dear Readers,

Over the past several weeks, I have been dealing with a plethora of personal issues, most of which have been handled.  The timing of these events has made it difficult to give this publication the attention it demands and, in turn, you the readers have suffered.

Due to the personal events I have experienced, it has forced me to step back from my day-to-day role in running IndyGeek.  Obligations that other staff members have had outside this publication have made it challenging maintain the pace of.  To their credit, they have done diligent work in running the news desk in my absence.  However, the end result meant that we were lax in bringing you the news you have come to trust in a timely manner.  For that, I sincerely apologize.

You may ask yourself why I am posting this on IndyGeek.net?  The answer is simple.  A true journalist should be dedicated to his chosen profession.  News doesn’t always flow during the hours of 9 to 5, Monday through Friday and an industry professional – with an Editor-In-Chief of a news publication being no exception – should always been on call to communicate the news in a manner that is pertinent to the readers.

I pledge to you that the administration of this publication will strive to put in place an succession policy in the absence of one or more members of the news team.  This way, we can continue to bring you the tech news of the day without interruption in the face decreased staffing.

With this renewed commitment, I hope you will come to trust the IndyGeek brand in the future for your technology industry news.

Sincerely,

John S. Fox, II
Editor-In-Chief
