Help Block Magazine Cover North Brooklyn

Block Magazine asked us to put this reader survey on our blog. Since other local papers have been put out of business, it's worth supporting the ones that do bring us important local news.

From the publishers:

Block Magazine, having covered North Brooklyn since 2002, has been forced to suspend the print issues we distributed in street boxes and local businesses before the recession hit our local partners and us.

But, taking a cue from such honorable publications as the Christian Science Monitor, we will continue online, starting this April, with a brand-new design, friendlier reader interaction, a better events calendar, a couple new editors, and the same type of in-depth, inclusive community journalism that started it all and kept us going.

We would like your help in shaping our future. We want to hear what you expect from you local community magazine. Please take a moment to take our survey

To be notified of our re-launch, please click here.

And to those lamenting the death of print: we fully intend to come back. We’re keeping the street boxes!

Take the survey here.
