STORY
AFSA's online newsletter underwent a redesign to better meet the interests of its readers. In a survey sent this fall to readers, several respondents said they preferred short news bites that highlight important developments.
"Like executives everywhere, AFSA executives are pressed for time and don't have many hours in a day to devote to reading publications," said Randy Lively, AFSA's president and CEO.
"Credit's redesign provides pertinent information that can be easily read in a short period of
time."
Inspiration for Credit's new design came from Spotlight on Financial Services, another AFSA online publication that offers financial services readers insight, research, and analysis that go behind the headlines. "In redesigning Credit, we used Spotlight's design element of a short introduction to each article, thereby enabling the reader to decide whether to read more of the story," said Lee Westell, AFSA's director of publications who oversaw the redesign.
The survey results also indicated that Credit readers continue to be highly interested in developments on government affairs issues. With that in mind, Credit will focus on breaking developments on legislative and regulatory issues on the federal and state levels.
