Workers' Comp Executive, in keeping with its strategic plan today is announcing that it is going all digital effective this week. It will be a two-step process for premium subscribers beginning with the elimination of the traditional twice monthly print edition. For 17 years, since 1991, Workers Comp Executive has been the Journal of Record for the business, production and underwriting ends of the business.

No more print means premium subscribers will receive a PDF version of the twice monthly newsletter via email. Considering the rising costs of paper, ink, printing, labor, increased postage, and the postal systems inefficiencies, electronic delivery has, for many publishers, become an effective and positive alternative to a price increase.

For our Premium Subscribers benefits include getting the news two to three days earlier, and being able to get it wherever you can get email. But that is only part of the story.... We are working towards changing our website(s) and systems over the next few months in order to be able to change our premium subscription from twice monthly to daily online coverage. All of the news as it breaks on a daily basis, not just FLASH Reports, along with many more useful tools and resources. We know what's in store and that your Premium Subscription will become even more valuable.

We take seriously our position as the journal of record for the business side of California's workers' comp system and work hard to fulfill our mission to provide important original journalism in a time when quality in depth journalism from writers who understand what they're writing about is being 'second placed' by many major papers and other media outlets.

We work to bring you intelligence - news you can use - along with humor when appropriate -- and a general sense of the industry as a whole. Our editors Brad Cain and Bess Shapiro backed up by a crack production and technical group are part of a wider news organization and other publications covering many aspects of the business life of California.
