The ‘quick-read for decision-makers’ hard news format, which was part of Freight & Trading Weekly’s success formula, left a niche for in-depth reporting on focused topics of relevance to our readers.This was what motivated FTW’s features – now published under the umbrella of Freight News Features – which provide a platform for captains of industry to share their views. As we celebrate our history, our success, and the accomplishments achieved over the years, we commit to staying true to our mission: to provide you, our readers, with contextual, authoritative, insightful and trustworthy news.Escalating our readership and extending our value-added content remains our goal as we look to the next 50 years. And as we have done time and time again, we will continue to evolve, covering big topics in an easy-read format.To our loyal readers and advertisers, we thank you for your support over the past 50 years and look forward to many more interesting years ahead.Liesl is features editor at Freight News.MY WISH Liesl VenterBIO
