As Postcards Magazine enters its 15-year anniversary, we are celebrating! The past five years have been transformative in many ways, so we set about remaking the magazine to reflect the evolution of the communities represented. As the world gets a little smaller, tastes have become more sophisticated. And like it or not, media is part of our daily lives more and more, and the community and people of our area needed us to keep up.

We hope our redesign expresses our dedication to you and our wish to deliver a place where conversation meets commerce, like a thriving town square. Growing up in Madisonville, life was lived around the square. The town square remains my favorite place to see in any community I visit. Since its inception, Postcards has really been a Main Street of sorts. Think of the places in your community lined up waiting for us to meet for food and conversation, share our day-to-day joys and struggles, watch our children play, and do business with our neighbor. All the while, we are just beaming with pride over this little area we have the pleasure to call home.

Our hope is the new look and feel of our publication will take us in a direction that will be cleaner and easier to read, more organized, and simpler to explore.  We are taking a fresh approach that blends lifestyle, meaningful conversations, and commerce. While we will continue sharing stories about the people, families, interests, and businesses that make our communities unique, we are also committed to keeping the same warm, familiar feel that readers have grown to love about Postcards.  It’s all about celebrating what makes our community special in a way that feels both fresh and new, yet true to who we are.

There are more exciting things to come this year. Keep watching for announcements and be sure to connect with us on our Facebook page and through our website. Most importantly, our goal will remain being a positive addition to our community—entertaining, delighting, shining a light, and staying deeply connected right here to the place we proudly call home.
