Mediate.com is sending out its 200th bi-weekly newsletter on September 5. We hope that you agree this is a notable accomplishment.
Our newsletter’s founding editor was John Helie. John Ford has been serving as Managing Editor for the last 5 years. Both Johns have done ground-breaking work, creating all that is Mediate.com from whole cloth.
If you review the testimonials submitted in support of this accomplishment, I believe you will come to see that Mediate.com is more than just a web site and The Mediate.com Newsletter is more than just a newsletter. Our combined efforts represent the publishing and continuous availability of over 3,000 free articles and resources at Mediate.com. Mediate.com now represents many of the critical ongoing discussions of our field and is perhaps our best means of educating our global public.
We have elevated and expanded our coverage of Mediation News (thanks to Keith Seat) and developed Mediate.com Featured Blogs. We now offer over 70 leading mediator interviews online and we are continuing to expand our international coverage. I have summarized how (at least in my mind) Mediate.com serves mediators at www.mediate.com/articles/how.cfm.
Please take a moment and review the many testimonials that have been submitted as part of our celebration. We hope that you agree they are most impressive and deserved.
Thanks to all of our authors for your wonderful contributions and ongoing support! We have accomplished something very special through our sustained and combined efforts.
