Each week’s paper, depending on its size, includes anywhere from eight to 12 - Thomas Jefferson stories and briefs of hard news — plus an Alexandria- specific editorial. We view this news emphasis as our bread and butter, and it will continue to be our priority. But to remain fresh and relevant, news organizations, like all businesses, need to evolve and provide their consumers new and interesting offerings. We have recently launched one such change in our new website at www.alextimes.com. This week we are happy to announce another major innovation in the way we present what’s happening in Al- exandria: the premiere of the new Times Living section. This section will contain various elements that were previ- ously scattered throughout the paper — such as our pet and health columns and home and calendar features — and will also contain a number of new wrinkles: We are renaming Scene Around Town to Arts. As the title change suggests, we are expanding the focus of this section to include the visual arts, live music and movie re- views, in addition to our coverage of the local theatre scene. Each month, we will publish a short feature highlight- ing an Alexandrian of interest to residents and readers. And each month, we will feature a neighborhood spotlight that will examine the Port City’s neighborhoods one at a Your Views time. A new column called Foodie will make its debut June 16.
