on Knoxville’s business owners. We’ve added two new departments, “Spirituality” and “Insights”; and, starting in July, we will present a charitable events calendar, both online and in print. We will continue to showcase high-quality photography, introducing a new, parting shot feature, where we close the magazine with a photograph we think ts the bill.
As my work at Cityview has become more and more enjoyable, I decided to step out from behind the camera and participate in this issue’s fashion shoot, one that celebrates the wide variety of ways Knoxvillians dress for dinner. Expect to see this focus continue in the future, as we have committed to doing a fashion piece each issue for the coming year.
This year, Vice President Rhea Richardson will continue
to grow our Sales and Marketing department as he employs his 40 years of experience in the advertising industry to
bring new faces to the sta of Cityview to join seasoned sales professional Doug Wylie. We plan to expand our opportunities for advertisers to connect with potential customers, both online and in print.
Our job is to serve both the reader and advertiser by delivering great content. It is our purpose to provide honest, ethical, and insightful journalism that is both informative
and entertaining, as any good media should. In looking back over 17 years, I can take pride in the success we have had. It has been an honor to play a role in telling the stories of our community for the bene t of our readers.
Sometimes, though, as I got caught up in work, I’ve not always been able to maintain a good personal balance, and that has weighed on me. With all of the positive change happening around here, and having told others’ stories for so long, it seems like a good time to take a little space and tell part of my own. If you will please indulge me over the next few pages, I’d like to share some of my own experience, both positive and negative, in the hopes that it will inspire.
With deepest respect for all of you who choose to read our magazine or be part of our family of advertisers, Thank You.
