Why are we starting a reader panel?
We always invite reader feedback; this panel will be a great source of regular input on a variety of topics.

Who do we want to join?
Anyone who reads The Roanoke Times and has email/Internet access. That's it!

What are we going to survey?
Panelists will have a chance to respond to articles, ads, other parts of the newspaper and online content.

What's in it for the reader? (Incentives)
Each time a panelist completes a survey, points are accrued and can be redeemed for gift cards (choices include Kroger, Sheetz, Target, and iTunes).

How does it work?
About once a week, panelists will receive an email from RAM with a link to an online survey. They are not required to take every survey but the more surveys they complete, the more points they earn! Also, the valuable feedback we will get from these surveys will help us make improvements to the newspaper/website.
