Editor’s Note – A New News in Review Is Coming
Next week’s issue of the AFA Alaska News in Review will be the last one in its current format. On June 1, our MEC Communications Committees from Hawaiian and Alaska will merge, and we’ll begin streamlining our communication efforts to speak with one voice going forward. As a part of this, we’ll welcome Hawaiian Flight Attendants to the thread as we start distributing the all-new AFA News In Review: Weekly News For Alaska + Hawaiian Flight Attendants beginning on Friday, June 13.
Along with the new name, we’ll introduce a fresh design featuring graphics from our social media content, making the newsletter visually appealing and easier to navigate. You might have seen some of our social media graphics recently marked with a pre-merger AS badge in the upper right-hand corner, and some of our posts include references on the first line about the audience for specific news. From now on, you’ll see these indicators on content specific to pre-merger Alaska or Hawaiian Flight Attendants, respectively.
Additionally, we’ll be discontinuing cross-posting the link to AFA News in Review on our Facebook page. Our analysis showed that these posts received minimal engagement, so we’re shifting our focus to ensure that all essential content that’s already been delivered by social media isn’t duplicated when it’s delivered to those who prefer to receive news by email or via our website.
Thank you for your ongoing support! We’re looking forward to improving our communication with these updates. We welcome your feedback, thoughts, and ideas, so please feel free to reach out to our Communications Committee—we’d love to hear from you!
–Brian Palmer, MEC Communications Committee Chairperson
