Abstract: In his first column as editor in chief, Matthew Hoch provides updates on recent changes impacting the Journal of Singing . These include national searches for associate editors of two columns and the realignment of staff resulting from those searches. Hoch also discusses the recent release of the eighteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style , the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, and the impact of these two resources on the Journal of Singing . Hoch reminds readers that although editors in chief come and go, the ever-evolving Journal of Singing will preserve continuity and remain an enduring pedagogical resource for teachers of singing.
