Coming Soon: A Quicker Way to Read VaNews
Some VaNews readers devour every single news article we place in front of them. But they are increasingly outnumbered by those who prefer to consume news in more modest portions. We’re working on a new design that caters to different appetites for political news. For the last week, 643 readers have been testing the new format. Look for the redesign to hit your inbox by Feb. 17.
