Dear Valued Newsbreak Followers and Foodie Friends

Dear Valued Newsbreak followers,

I wanted to take a moment to address the recent changes in my writing presence on Newsbreak. As you may have noticed, there has been a significant decrease in the number of articles I have been publishing on the platform. This decision was not made lightly, but after careful consideration, I have chosen to discontinue my contributions to Newsbreak.

The primary reason for this decision stems from the substantial reduction in pay for contributors and the unfavorable changes in the platform's algorithms and writer dashboards. Despite my efforts to address these concerns with Newsbreak over the past year, the company has shown little regard for the well-being of its contributors.

Writing for Newsbreak has become increasingly challenging, with delays in article publication and a significant decrease in earnings. It is disheartening to feel undervalued and unappreciated by a company that prioritizes profit over fair compensation for its writers.

As a result, I have made the difficult choice to remove all of my articles from Newsbreak by the end of 2024. I am currently in the process of transitioning my work to my personal blog, "Cooking Exceptionally With Gin Lee, The Deep South Cook." I invite you all to continue following my writing journey on this platform. I launched my blog in 2016, and it is completely free to follow me here. I do not generate any income from my blog posts, as it is a passion project that I pursue in my spare time.

I want to express my gratitude to my 30K+ followers for your unwavering support and encouragement. Your loyalty means the world to me, and I am committed to providing you with quality content in the future.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Warm regards,

Gin Lee

Growing food in the winter inside a low tunnel When winter arrives and the ground becomes frosty, many gardeners assume that growing fresh produce is out of the question until spring.
