Hello Venturer,It’s the last day of 2021, and coincidentally, it’s a Friday.For many, this has been a week for reviewing and reflecting. And it’s no different for us as an organisation. There were so many internal changes this year. Big and small. Apparent and not-so-apparent. All for the improvement of the organisation and to serve you better. We relaunched our newsletter this year. We also conducted several website migrations and a few modifications. Then there’s the editorial change - the stories, the people telling the stories, and how they tell the stories.This year we reverted to telling more original stories on business, policy, and innovation (technology), away from aggregated news stories. And when we covered news stories within our areas of interest, it was through a critical lens. I say reverted because original and analytical storytelling is not new to us. But, it was scarce for a while.We also experimented and continue to experiment extensively on social media, owing to the constant advancements on different platforms. From new features and tools to algorithm updates, social media can be a little intimidating.  Speaking of advancements, industries and economies are experiencing profound disruptions, thanks to technology. Technology is reshaping our lives and shaping our future. Soon we’ll be living in the metaverse, and it is both exciting and scary. As the curtain falls this year, some things are certain - as the world evolves, we will evolve along with it. Right now, we seem to be in a moment of in-betweenness due to the reemergence of COVID (Omicron). But we are hopeful 2022 will be better; I mean, look at all we achieved as a publication and as a continent this year.Cheers to a new year!Hadassah EgbediEditor, Ventures Africa
