Welcome to a leaner, simpler Ragan.com
Yes, you’re at the right place: It’s still us. But we’ve rearranged the furniture, bulldozed some walls and invited everyone to the party.
But then one day, you can’t ignore it any longer.
While I was sipping a glass of wine at one of our events last year, a PR woman approached me with a look that every CEO can spot from across the room: She had something to say, and it wasn’t going to be pretty.

She was right. I knew it. Though our loyal readers embraced Ragan.com heartily when it debuted three years ago, it had since been eclipsed by a new generation of content sites. These new, leaner sites put a premium on speed, simplicity and community.
Welcome to the new Ragan.com—our attempt to provide all of you with a better product.
