Any chance of a summary for us under 20s ?
Thought Iād reply to this here as to not drag that other thread off topic.
To be fair to the team, the weekly briefs have been by far the most successful brief/newsletter/comms thing Iāve seen since becoming staff. Normally, these ideas last a month at best, then just stop.
What weāve had is nearly every week, for a year now, a decent brief of whatās happening with some announcements, feel good stories etc. I still think the whole-org comms strategy is lacking, but these briefs have been great.
Sometimes late, but thatās just life? Sometimes missed entirely, again, thatās just life. And to be fair, the times Iāve not seen it in an email, and gone to check, there has been a āNothing to report, see you next weekā post, rather than it just being forgotten.

Thanks @JoeBloggs, for the positive words and support.
Yeah. Very simply theyāre sometimes delayed because of none of us being available to get it done for the Monday, its simply volunteer capacity.
Other times we might hold a day to share something that needs to go sooner rather than later (and canāt wait the week), or weāll have already posted the article on the Monday night (but late) and send the email the following day.
Our aim is always the Monday night, and weāll always do our best to be consistent (and as you say, when we donāt post it, we do an article saying that, we just donāt want to send an email saying no news).

I find the weekly updates a great help, so thanks to the team that puts them out. Personally, I would rather that they are right and possibly out on Tuesday/Wednesday instead of Monday, rushed and missing important ponts/needing corrections.
