And so it begins...

After several weeks, and a few attempts, my ethics application was finally approved. It took longer than expected, so I'm a few weeks behind where I wanted to be, but still in good shape to finish this whole thing on time. I ran everything by my boss, and got the OK that I could send it out, and fired my survey out to almost 4,000 people last night.

Realistically, I don't think 2,000+ will even read it. The nature of our newsroom would lead me to believe that most employees in our radio departments won't even know it's there, because they use the system differently. Of the 2,000 that DO read it, I doubt 1,000 will give it more than a look, meaning that roughly 1,000 people will read it and consider doing it. If 1 in 10, or 2 in 10 take it, I'll have between 100-200 reponses, which will make me happy. Any more than that, and I'll be thrilled.

The good news is that less than 16 hours in, I already have 39 responses, which pleases me. Let's hope this pace keeps up.
