State of the Voice January 2018

Chris Davis, Publisher

It's been a long time since I published a "State of the Voice".  I've written about ten of them that I chose to delete instead, because the Voice has been in an uncertain state of flux for the last two years and I didn't want to mislead our readers or advertisers.  That state of flux, while never completely gone, has stabilized somewhat, so here we are.  Expect the rest of this editorial to be candor-full.
