Printed Spotlight Transitions to Bi-Monthly

Printed Spotlight Transitions to Bi-Monthly

February 29, 2024

One goal of our Public Information Office (Pub Info) is to get news to you in ways you want it, when you want it. Since the 1970s, GUC’s Spotlight employee newsletter has been the core of our internal communications and has gone through countless changes. This year, the printed Spotlight will go through another change - timing.  

To enhance the goal of delivering timely news and to reduce our environmental and financial footprint, Pub Info is transitioning Spotlight’s printed version from monthly to bi-monthly (every two months), starting with March/April. As a result of this transition, the Pub Info team will be able to focus more resources on the Spotlight Newsfeed to meet the growing demand of online readers.  

In 2016, Pub Info created the digital Spotlight Newsfeed (spotlight.guc.com) in response to a survey in which employees and retirees requested to receive a digital version for more timely stories (and to enjoy videos and extra photos) that they could read on their computer, tablet, or phone. Subsequent survey results, as well as Newsfeed statistics, have shown an increase in readers who prefer to get stories online. In addition, the list of people opting out from the printed version has continued to grow over the years. 

As we make the change to a bi-monthly printed newsletter, we encourage you to visit spotlight.guc.com regularly and also be on the lookout for Pub Info’s “What’s Happening” emails for the latest stories.
