 We need to know our readers better
 Advertise NewsLine better ?
Increase media contacts ?
Our current communication channels mostly targeted for ILC community

 Surveys? Opinion from people outside our community?
Deep thinking and tactics on going
Need of appropriate tools to evaluate and improve our communication (like web statistics tools), hire dedicated webmaster …
