13 www.ReadMPM.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasantPodcast.com Happy New Year! ‘Tis the season for new year’s resolutions. This is not only an opportunity to focus on self-growth and prosperity, but it’s also a chance to inspire and elevate others in the workplace. As editor, my resolutions come in the form of our magazine’s vows to our readership as a trusted steward of the community. The following goals are personal to me and our editorial department for the new year. Here are a few resolutions that come to mind in no particular order because they are all of equal importance. Embrace Innovation in Storytelling: I’m fully aware that the media landscape is ever-changing and it’s essential to adapt to the times. With the implementation of artificial intelligence, I’ll embrace AI and utilize it as a tool to inspire ideas for fresh and engaging content. Support Diverse Voices: I’ll be more conscious to highlight voices from all walks of life, ensuring our stories are inclusive and truly representative of the community we serve. Foster Collaboration: Teamwork makes the dream work and great content is often the result of great teamwork. I’ll focus on fostering a collaborative environment with writers, designers, photographers and other contributors. Improve Reader Engagement: Writing isn't just about informing, it’s about connecting. I’ll focus on deepening our engagement with readers through online feedback, surveys and other strategies to create interactive content. Promote a Positive Work Environment: The energy of a publication starts with its staff. I will make it my mission to foster a positive, supportive work culture, where creativity can flourish, and everyone’s ideas are shared and heard. For me, these resolutions are not about becoming a better editor — they’re about becoming a better leader. Here’s to a new year full of new opportunities to use our platform to educate others.
