An Open Letter From The Editor
Hello DisneyExaminer family!
May I say its great to be back? Sure, I can!
No really, it’s been great to be back here writing and getting everything UNDER CONTROL. It’s seriously been a long time since I’ve been able to get our team back together after the holidays and after our schooling (yes, most of us go to college!), but we can all agree that it’s good to be back.
And with coming back after an extended vacation, we had some time to rethink our vision when it comes to our stories and what we post and write about.
So many times in the past we have stressed ourselves as being a website that could gather ALL that the Disney universe had to offer and present it to you in a form that was fun and to the point.
That wasn’t happening. And we knew it couldn’t. Why?
- We are too small (staff-wise).
- We don’t have the resources.
- We don’t have the time.
and mainly…
IT’S ALREADY BEEN DONE…AND CONTINUES TO BE DONE TO THIS DAY! (i.e. MiceChat, MousePlanet, etc.)
So as you can see, we were posed with a giant problem. If we were to continue DisneyExaminer, what would make us unique and at the same time present us stories that people would enjoy and that we would enjoy writing about?
Well, it turned out to be our new vision for this WHOLE site – uniqueness.
Sure, we can fill a website with the LATEST Disney news, and this and that…but we know that you, or readers already KNOW what’s going on way before we post it! We’re humble enough to admit that. And in doing so, we changed our vision from being that broad to more specific and special, if you will.
So here’s what’s going to go down –
DisneyExaminer and it’s writers will continue to do what we do best – presenting the Disney news to you all, specifically from D23, Disney Studios (mostly film reviews), and of course the Disneyland Resort (most of our stories will now come from here). Breaking News will still be a priority for us too!
DisneyExaminer and it’s writers are now directed to FIND special stories that will be noted by the title “a DisneyExaminer Feature Story.” – this new feature of our site will be filled with EXCLUSIVE stories and interviews that DisneyExaminer will indeed conduct, research, and critique. From covering REAL Disney Weddings exclusive interviews with Disney giants, and special events from the Parks and movies! Excited? So are we. More on this later…
And that’s it!
Nothing really in between. We feel this new direction will make us more effective with the use of our time and resources, as well as making your experience reading and “examining” us even better. Now granted we will no longer have the set weekly Snippet anymore and most of our stories will be posted without notice, we hope to really surprise you with each story we post.
So that’s the new DisneyExaminer, folks! Breaking News AND DE Feature Stories from D23, Disney Studios, and the Disneyland Resort are now our permanent columns, with stories being added now!
Lastly, I’d like to thank you guys and gals for sticking with us for the past couple months since rethinking our vision. We appreciate your patience and are ever eager to serve you as we enter into a new year with new stories that are sure to blow your Mickey ears away! Please continue to tell your friends and family about us and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest stories from our team.
Blessings,
– Jordie
