19 | The IFP -H alton H ills | T hursday,January 31,2019 theifp.ca It's about trust. Our rela- tionship with our readers is built on transparency, hon- esty and integrity. As such, we have launched a trust ini- tiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This column is part of that project. If you've logged on to our news website, theIFP.ca, over the past four months, you've likely noticed the green banner at the top ask- ing you to register and sup- port local journalism. And if you've read more than two stories in any of those months, you've also seen a message blocking part of the third article asking you to register to continue reading. Many of you have an- swered the call - providing us your name, email address and postal code to get unlim- ited access to our local news and information, as well as permission to comment on articles and submit your own content. Thank you for your support. Others have hesitated. And some have called, emailed or posted on our Facebook page to ask: Why are you asking me to regis- ter? What are you doing with this information? Who has access to this information? Good and reasonable questions. The simple answer is: We want to get to know you. We want to better understand what news articles matter most to you and provide you with more of what you want. But what does that mean exactly? In the past, journalists worked by instinct. We re- ported on the issues we thought most important to our communities and as- sumed you read it all. But the only ways we could mea- sure our success were let- ters to the editor, critical or complimentary phone calls and conversations at the grocery store. Now, as readers register on theIFP.ca, we can use a variety of tools to get hard data on your reading habits. How often do you visit? Twice a day, three times a week or once a month? How many articles do you read when you get there? What subjects interest you most? Social issues? Lo- cal council happenings? Crime? Things to do? Are you more likely read news local to your neighbourhood or about wider regional is- sues? Will you stick around to devour longer, investigative pieces or are you looking for quick reads? We're not looking at this on the individual level - but rather searching for trends that will help guide us in the issues we research and how we present that informa- tion. We are not selling or sharing this information with anyone beyond our company, Torstar. While this new digital tracking is an important way to learn about our read- ers, we still appreciate a good old-fashioned conver- sation. We always welcome your opinions on what you read online or in this news- paper. You can reach our newsroom at kmiceli@met- roland.com or 905-873-0301.
