PULSE will include some unique new features, not the least of which will be a weekly update of a “portfolio” of stocks of local interest, so you can see how these hand-picked, publicly held companies are performing as if you owned a piece of each of them yourself.

Our mission will be guided in part by an advisory panel made up of area business owners and other key businesspeople, and you will be meeting them in the coming weeks.

PULSE is one of the three new initiatives launched on the Citizen’s second anniversary. We’ve recently formed Citizen Distribution, LLC, which delivers your Citizen as well as other materials, and soon the Citizen will unveil a bigger, better and more user-friendly Web site.

So keep your eyes on PULSE. We’re just now hitting our rhythm.
