The War Zone Newsletter

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of formally announcing that The War Zone is now finally its own site. Not only that, but we are under a new web address that reflects the short-hand name that we, and many of our readers, refer to The War Zone as — TWZ.com. 

 

As part of the new site launch, we are fortunate enough to have a great launch sponsor, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems. They are leaders in the uncrewed aircraft space and we are leaders when it comes to writing about uncrewed systems. It's a great match and we really appreciate their support.

 

While the name of the site has changed, its fundamental mission has not. We cover the air, sea, land, space, and cyber domains of warfare and wrap it all up in a geopolitical bow. We take the world's most complex and opaque technological topics and convey them in a way that anyone can understand, regardless of their background, and we do so in more depth than the competition. These two things seem at odds, but we have developed a magic formula to make them work as one. We see this as critical in the present age of rapidly evolving warfare and tumultuous geopolitics. 

 

Above all else, while other outlets, and this industry as a whole, sadly seem to be shrinking at an alarming rate, we are growing and getting the opportunity to reach new audiences. That is, ultimately, a testament to our incredibly loyal readership. There is no way I can thank you all enough for your support over the years. Having such a wonderful audience is truly the highlight of my career.
