LOS ANGELES, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Reason, the monthly magazine of `free
minds and free markets,' this week issued the first official edition of Reason
Express, a weekly e-mail newsletter with information and commentary on hot
topics in the news. Reason Express covers diverse subjects ranging from
education reform to tobacco policy, and places a special emphasis on
developments involving government regulation of technology.
"Reason Express will offer the same brand of sharp, alternative
commentary that readers of our magazine and visitors to our website have
enjoyed for years," said Reason Editor Virginia Postrel. "We're very excited
about the opportunity to now supplement our in-depth monthly coverage with
brief analysis of news events of interest to our readers on a weekly basis."
This week's edition includes stories on the Federal Communications
Commission's failed policy on high definition television, the hype over
the bad behavior of some airline passengers, the bleak outlook for
reforming U.S. encryption policy, and the Supreme Court's recent ruling
on firearms possession.
Reason Express is written by Washington-based journalist Jeff A. Taylor
and draws on the ideas and resources of Reason magazine's editorial
staff. Each story includes links to related articles on Reason's
website, Reason Online ( http://www.reason.com ), and to other relevant
Internet resources.
This week's launch of Reason Express follows a four-week trial period
during which reader suggestions on content and delivery were
incorporated.
