Our website and email newsletters are changing

National Underwriter P&C, in turn, is descended from The Western Underwriter, which started out as The Ohio Underwriter, which came to life in 1896. The Ohio Underwriter itself absorbed a Chicago-based insurance publication, the Black & White, in 1899.

The original editors always emphasized the need to keep up with the times, and bragged, in large type, about the size of their telegraph services budget.

I personally came in as an associate editor at National Underwriter in 1996, when we still saved our articles on floppy disks, and carried the floppy disks to another editor to get the articles into the print publication. We did not have a website. We had one computer that was hooked up to something called the “Internet.” Sometimes, we summoned up the nerve to start up that computer… and look in university card catalogs.

Today, you face pressure from technology, from hackers, from your everyday regulators, and from dreamers who know they can get health care policy and tax policy right, this time.

We hope our new configuration will strengthen our ability to support you, by giving you the information you need to see how everything is changing, and why, and how to turn all that change into a powerful source of energy for your endeavors.
