Hey PublicSource newsletter readers — Audience growth and Engagement Producer Stephanie Mirah here! 👋
I wanted to pop in to let you know that, to give our staff a break for Thanksgiving, we will not be publishing our Thursday newsletter. We'll be back in your inbox on Saturday.
While I have you here, did you know PublicSource has two other niche newsletters?

That's all from me! Enjoy your holiday week. Be sure to read our Thanksgiving-specific stories below. ⬇️
