As publisher of Soapbox, I hear it time and again about how much our readers look forward to their weekly reminder about where Cincinnati is headed - not where it's been. Where we've been is well covered. When we launched Soapbox two years ago, we wanted to speak about what the future holds for our region – what's next for Cincinnati, who is driving change, creating jobs and investing in our neighborhoods. As is hopefully evident in our past 100 issues, Soapbox believes that place matters. Cincinnati matters.
So it's no surprise we focus on those people and innovations that will not only make our region better today, but lay the groundwork for a better tomorrow.
It's easy for most to assume we're just a weekly, online publication about Cincinnati. But what we do each week goes beyond that. What we do is changing the conversation people are having about Cincinnati.
In our first 100 issues, our talented staff of writers, reporters, filmmakers and photographers have created over 2,000 pieces of fresh, original content that tells the new Cincinnati story. They have captured the story of entrepreneurs and innovators, tastemakers and trendsetters, the new economy workforce and neighborhood pioneers. We know you're inspired by these stories each week and we're proud to give Cincinnati a soapbox to stand on to tell them.
So what were your favorites? Where did we hit the mark and where did we fall short? What are we missing? What would you like to read more about?

And to our loyal fans, Soapbox has some exciting changes in store for 2010 - not only will we be unveiling a new layout in the coming weeks, but we’ll also be adding new content features and site enhancements. But not to worry, we’ll still be on the leading edge of shaping Cincinnati’s narrative, one issue at a time. On behalf of all of us here at Soapbox - thank you for your continued support and readership. Here’s to the next 100 issues!
