Which of these statements rings most true for you? *

When I read Chalkbeat’s newsletters, I get the most out of links to other local and/or national news sources.

When I read Chalkbeat’s newsletters, I’m most interested in Chalkbeat stories. I can get the other news I need elsewhere.

Which of these statements rings most true for you? *

When I open Chalkbeat’s newsletters, I usually skim, and prefer lists of stories instead of full paragraphs.

When I open Chalkbeat’s newsletters, I like reading more in depth. I prefer a narrative with context to explain a recent education policy or development.

Would you read Chalkbeat’s newsletters more or less if they were a simplified list of recently published Chalkbeat stories? *

More. That sounds like it would be useful to me.

Less. I prefer the personal touch. Getting a list of stories in an email doesn’t appeal to me.

Neither. I’ll read whatever Chalkbeat sends me.

We’re considering splitting our local newsletters into two products: a daily list of Chalkbeat stories, and a weekly narrative email from one of our reporters about the latest developments in education. What’s your reaction to that idea? *

Hate it — I like the current newsletters I get.

Wary of it — I’ve gotten a lot out of the current format, and I’m not sure this would be a positive change.

I'm interested only in the daily roundup of story links.

I'm interested only in the weekly newsletter.

Enthusiastic about it — I’d subscribe to both newsletters for my local bureau, or a national version that included links to stories from all of Chalkbeat’s local bureaus.

This input from readers is really important to us, and we may follow up with some of you to chat more about how we can improve. Are you comfortable with us reaching out to you for this purpose at a future date? *

Yes, email me.

No, I'd prefer not.
