Once again, many in our readers' community stepped up to let us know that they value our journalism on Giving Tuesday. Thank you. Help to spread the impact of your gift by talking with your friends about why you support local journalism, with so many other worthy causes demanding your attention. You'll continue to hear from us throughout December with special messages that take you behind the scenes at BSR, share recommendations, and lots more.
This week, I'm reflecting on the state of arts PR in Philly. I know, it sounds a bit like inside baseball, but it's actually an important topic for readers and audiences. I'd love to know that you think. Meanwhile, our writers are heading to the Barnes (the ever-enigmatic Henri Rousseau), to the new campus at Woodmere, to Hedgerow Theatre for an adaptation of Little Women, and to the Wanamaker, previewing the December holiday events saved in 2025 by a huge coalition of organizers and donors.
Thanks to everyone who has already booked their digital seat for the HELP US HELP YOU webinar. It's happening on December 10, one week from tonight! There's still time to register. Friends of BSR, look out soon for your comp code. If you become a Friend this week, you'll get free access to the webinar (and all of our events).
For a lot of us, December is the most hectic month of the year. Thanks for kicking it off with us.

BSR editor-in-chief
