Back Page focus is far too narrow

Posted March 31, 2010 11:00 pm

The "Back Page" informs readers of Today's Birthdays for information, interest and entertainment purposes. The listings of individuals' birthdays shows generally those of a popular genre ... a narrow focus of the overall and one of a concentration of interest.

Your readership is much more broad, with diversified interest and capable to relate to other worlds of knowledge. It is proposed to educate and inspire by listing other individuals that makeup other realms. Historical figures to awaken those that have experienced and inform and move the younger. Classical Arts' people to enlighten the frequenting and inspire all generations; all to proliferate our world's at-hand resources and to nurture the more significant and enduring aspects of mankind.

The Back Page theme and purpose may be to feature the everyday, but to consider an equally worthwhile enlightenment, that by deeper rooted human nature is enduring, supports significances, possibilities and betterment. One can amend your current offering or originate new space dedicated to other classes of general knowledge.
