In today's age of the internet, television, smart phones, and social media; newspapers are becoming the dinosaurs of the media world. Even so there is still a need and audience for well written, hard hitting newspaper reporting especially at the local level. While local television stations cover the big local stories they are limited by time to cover everything important. That's where newspapers like the News/Tribune can create a niche following by delving into controversial stories that the public really wants to hear more about.
Case in point is the recent post on the BatBlog " Hey Whatever Happened To ???" There was a big response to the post. People like to read follow up stories on questions like what happened afterward ??? After an arrest or political scandal especially when public officials are involved. Of course public officials detest controversy
or news items that put them into an unfavorable light and hope the controversial stories go away. With a discerning public out there wanting hard hitting , honest , updated news stories and editorials. Who will provide them ?? The BatBlog attempts to, will the News/ Tribune follow suit ???
Good post. I sure hope news and tribune is reading this! past year should draw attention of the voters for the upcoming election.
