Two new links have been added in the links area on the right hand side of this page.
Newsprint in My Blood, is the brainchild of Missouri Southern State University Publications Manager T. R. Hanrahan, while Corner of the Sky is a politically-oriented blog from southwest Missouri.
Please feel free to leave any other suggestions for links.
Hanrahan's blog has some pretty good stuff in it, although it tends to focus a bit much on the Carthage Press. Has there ever been a paper more irrelevant than what the Carthage Press has become?
ReplyDeleteAllowing such a comment to be posted without retort would be a crime.
ReplyDelete"Irrelevant" you say...
Obviously, you have no idea what community journalism is.
Some people want to know what's going on thier area, what thier neighbors feel and care about. If your child wins the spelling bee, that sure is important to you. If it makes it in the paper, you're going to cut that out, and post it on your refrigerator. This is why community journalism is also called "refrigerator journalism."
The readers of The Carthage Press are people of Carthage, Avilla, Jasper, Sarcoxie, Webb City, etc., who are parents, teachers, students, taxpayers and government officials, etc.
Several key players in our area's newspaper business have experience in this field of journalism. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere fella.
I know it's really childish to namecall on here, but this dickhole calling a communtiy newspaper "irrelevant" is such a hating remark, and he/she should just go bugger off.
Refrigerator journalism is important, no doubt, but a DAILY county seat paper has to do more than just drop people's names into the paper. The Press has more fluff than substance. It used to be that the paper had several subscribers in Joplin, who wanted the paper for its Jasper County and courthouse coverage.
ReplyDeleteIt's the people of Carthage who are calling the Press "irrelevant," not the poster. Circulation is at an all-time low.
And here is Turner again with his double-standard.....he read and approved profanity with a post on here while censoring others with none simply because he sides with the author. Again, it's your blog but just be sure to tell people that you are talking out both sides of your a**.
