I like the format! Organized, short and informative. I like the graphics you choose to use as well. Knowing when to do a deep dive is a skill to have, as a journalist and a reader. Good job, Gabe!

I hadn’t considered that scenario where a forced deep dive would have been better avoided and replaced with a broader zoom out.

This format would be okay occasionally… say, one (at most two) days a week. I would miss your focus on deeply educating your readership on the nuances of a story. Quality over quantity is your differentiator in the market of journalism.

Adding this after reading other comments. I recognize now there may be times when a deep dive feels forced or unnatural and the quality doesn’t hit the mark, either because the topic was meh or your energy was low. I’d rather get a zoomed out list like this than nothing in that case.

I far prefer your other format. Summaries of the news are easy to come by, but your deep dives are uniquely accessible and especially valuable for their context and non-partisan flavor. I have always found the time it takes to read them time well-spent.

Whatever format fits the moment is good, Gabe. I do like that I can always hear your "voice" no matter the organization of the material. Thanks for asking and being willing to grow and change.

Great format. Sometimes your column drags too long. In depth is great, just not every day. I read your column for in-depth analysis, but it sometimes feels like a movie that is too long.

Keep up the good work!

Enjoyed today’s info. Maybe a couple of days a week. Sometimes I don’t have time to read whole in depth articles.
