Shiftwork International Newsletter

As you know, the nature by which we all communicate has changed substantially over the past decade. Formal newsletters and other publications have become increasingly supplanted by blogs, Facebook walls, free access journals and other social media tools and sites. The impact of these new ways of communicating has been profound. For example, no longer does one have to wait for a publication with a set periodicity to obtain its information, content and insight. Indeed these changes have sped up the time from development of the content to its “publication” or accessibility, which is great. Unfortunately it has also led to the proliferation of information portals, hot spots and other places one must continually monitor to keep up with this information flow. And of course, given that most of these sources are not subject to an editorial process, the consumer must be wary of its veracity.
