MacVoices #20132: TidBITS 30th Anniversary with Adam Engst (Part 2)

TidBITS publisher Adam Engst continues his conversation on the 30th anniversary of their email newsletter, explaining why TidBITS avoided adopting publishing trends, why introducing graphics helps the reader, and in spite of all the changes, email remains the dominant consumption mechanism. Adam talks about how they became part of the community, created a loyal reader and supporter base, and what the plans are for the future.
