CityView readers: beginning tomorrow, you’ll see a brand-new format for the CityView Today newsletter you’ve been receiving from us.

The objective in our redesign is to provide a more readable, useful and fun digital newsletter — one that’ll feature a cleaner (and easier-to-read) look and feel. It’ll also allow us to simultaneously bring you more kinds of information you desire in a less busy, more conversational format, as well as give you more opportunity to interact with us and share what’s on your mind.

We hope you’ll like what you see.

And make sure you read it carefully – we’ll be sharing the announcement of some very good news for the more than 35,000 of you who subscribe to CVT in Wednesday’s debut edition, and sharing more about other CityView goings-on in upcoming editions.

Be on the lookout and let us know what you think.

Bill Horner III, Executive Editor, on behalf of the entire CityView team

Bill Horner III has spent most of his career in newspapering. His first byline in The Sanford Herald, founded by his grandfather in 1930, came when he was 13 years old. He spent more than 30 years at The Herald, the last 18 as publisher. The newspaper was recognized with four first-place “General Excellence” awards during his last six years there. After a short retirement beginning in 2016, Bill served for more than four years as publisher and editor of The Chatham News + Record, which won more news reporting awards than any other weekly newspaper in N.C. during his tenure there. He and his wife, Lee Ann, live in Sanford. They have three grown children and two grandchildren.
