Since taking the reins of the Ada Icon and Bluffton Icon in September 2021, my time has passed in this fashion: long days and incredibly fast weeks and months. I’m still introducing myself as the “new Fred”—meaning former editor-owner Fred Steiner—and “How’s it going at the Icon?” has become a familiar greeting.

It’s going great: I’m learning something new and meeting someone new every day.

If you want to see a specific topic covered on the Icon, here’s how:

• Send a brief note with contact information or a media release with key details
• For coverage of events, a few days notice is much appreciated, so that I can arrange to "pop over" from Bluffton.
