Legendary news anchor and the best-selling author of What Unites Us, APB speaker Dan Rather is launching a new endeavor called "Steady." Inspired by his father’s favorite word, “Steady” is both a paid and/or free subscription-based newsletter that is delivered directly to your inbox. It will include essays, letters, and other similar content by Rather in which he will facilitate conversations on both national and global levels. In his post, Dan says, “Call me old fashioned, but I’m not a huge fan of algorithms dictating what people see. Yet in recent years social media became my primary means of communicating with the world. And that meant, whether by tweet or post, a bunch of opaque computer code kicked in to determine what reached you. Subscribing to "Steady" cuts through that digital Gordian Knot.”
