Democratizing Signal Processing [From the Editors]

It will be March when you receive this issue of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (SPM), and it has been almost four years since the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS)´s Inside Signal Processing eNewsletter (eNews) was first launched in April 2007, as the latest addition to SPM. When spring begins, flowers blossom and a new start brings new hopes. As the old Chinese saying goes, “A year´s plan starts with spring.” This is precisely what we are doing for the bimonthly SPM and the monthly eNews that complements the magazine.
