FROM THE EDITOR

Welcome to FaceTime—today’s handheld answer to being there when you can’t be and the editorial theme for this month’s publication (our first of the year!).

As we began to brainstorm for this issue, we thought about the same three things we always do: ideas, conversations and community. We thought about you.

And because the best ideas only reveal themselves when they’re damn well ready to, we did a lot of our brainstorming when we weren’t expecting to. Texts were sent from waiting rooms, the parking lots of gyms and wing nights at the pub. Together, but apart, we connected. And that’s what our FaceTime theme’s all about: connecting.

From Snapchat to political representation, we’re exploring how social media and technology have changed the way we define community and stay connected—something we’d like to do more of with you.

So here’s to a great start and a great year. And to meeting you back here to connect again.

Same time. Same place.
