Telltale Evolution
The Telltale has been in production since 1980 when it was called the “Newsletter”. In 1982 the publication was renamed to “Tell-Tale” before being simplified to “Telltale” as we know it today.
Over the years, the Telltale has taken various forms. It started as a paper newsletter, stapled together, and passed around. It then became a comprehensive 20-30 page monthly publication mailed to members. Now, it is sent as a weekly email newsletter, and, like many electronic newsletters today, the Telltale includes brief headlines with images and links to more detailed articles on the NSC’s website.
