Welcome to the new Federal Times!
As we enter our 50th year of providing readers with unparalleled news coverage, Federal Times is taking a big step forward to integrate what we do in print with what we do online. The federal news cycle now moves too fast to be simply captured in print, yet with the proliferation of developments large and small, there is greater need for context, review, perspective and insight. This is what the new monthly Federal Times magazine is all about.
The Federal Times print edition will complement our extraordinary online offering, FederalTimes.com, on which we have concentrated so much effort and thought over the past year. FederalTimes.com is where we cover the daily news of the federal government. FederalTimes.com also launched a contemporary design last month for a richer and more easily navigable experience.
Take a Look: The digital edition
We are not moving away from print, just adjusting its frequency so as to be relevant in the Internet age. In a monthly magazine-style setting we are able to provide analysis and context to help you make sense of news and developments. We're investing in our print offering with an upgrade to a brighter paper stock, a higher page count, and an improved design to provide a more compelling and engaging visual experience to reinforce our award-winning journalism.
Federal Times will be your best source of federal business intelligence, enabling you to better navigate the complex issues affecting management, budget, information technology, acquisition policy and contracting, as well as your career interests as a federal manager. We believe Federal Times is unique in this regard, with its sights on your comprehensive needs and interests.
I think you'll find our first issue as a monthly magazine a more inviting and readable product that provides you the context and insight you need to make sense of the day-to-day news affecting your agency and career. I hope you find the redesigned Federal Times magazine time well spent.
