The observant reader might have noticed the absence of the Newsline section from the January 2023 issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Newsline, the “nonscientific” portion of JNM, covered leadership and policy updates, meeting information, literature updates, American Board of Nuclear Medicine news and other news briefs, and obituaries.
Newsline was created and led by Dr. Stanley Goldsmith from 1987 to 1999, by the late Dr. Conrad Nagle from 1999 to 2012, and by Dr. Harvey Ziessman from 2012 to 2022. Dr. Nancy Knight served as consulting editor starting in 1999. We extend our gratitude to these leaders for their exceptional contributions, for the quality of their work, and for their dedication to the JNM readership.

Over the last couple of decades, news communications have accelerated dramatically via Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, among others. A monthly scientific publication simply cannot keep up with news cycles of a few hours.
Therefore, we are rededicating the Newsline space to publishing news-cycle–independent original research, invited perspectives, provocative editorials and informed commentaries, discussions with leaders, hot topics, issues and controversies, and letters to the editor and replies, as well as the transcribed and edited highlights lectures from the annual SNMMI meeting. Dr. Knight will continue as consulting editor to maintain continuity and high quality.
The entire JNM team thanks Drs. Harvey Ziessman and Nancy Knight for their valuable contributions.
We are confident that you, the reader, will enjoy the reformatted front section of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
