I guess they were used to people working just to see their name in print. Their offer barely covered the cost of gas. And while I assume they are doing slightly better now, a decade ago when I was working on different campaigns, the joke used to be that people had a choice, use their journalism degree and work for the TS or go for the higher paying job at McDonalds.

I contacted the Supervisors I know well, and those I know will contact me promptly, even on a weekend. Are you trying to stir trouble, Allan?!<br />John Chivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325700128778718091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681108704390260122.post-32592836690483524132016-05-29T17:40:06.021-07:002016-05-29T17:40:06.021-07:00Any reason why you didn't check with Superviso...Any reason why you didn't check with Supervisor Mark Lovelace (or Fennell I guess) as well?

I have been a part of media, national for 30 years, locally about 14.<br /><br />We have some excellent reporters here, some excellent media sources. Others that have simply been around for a while with no competition.<br /><br />I think advertisers and readers deserve basic, accurate information. It is not that hard to make a phone call or check online before printing information. There are still people whose only source of information is the newspaper. We have only one daily.<br /><br />We have way too many media outlets locally, the ones that are smaller and independent do a better job with less or one staff member. I would like to see quality and shoe leather reporting being supported by advertisers and readers and demand more from each media source.<br /><br />John Chivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325700128778718091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681108704390260122.post-19709376100967289272016-05-29T15:11:05.540-07:002016-05-29T15:11:05.540-07:00Well, you're making the assumption that I read...Well, you're making the assumption that I read the TS... As to screwing up, having been involved with the media in one fashion or another for some 40 years, I have seen some legendary mistakes in the 'mainstream media" that would put a third grader to shame.Jim Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831634985286498567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681108704390260122.post-6396458377346501282016-05-29T12:19:32.081-07:002016-05-29T12:19:32.081-07:00Jim, there is an agenda posted.

And, checking with a Supervisor who needs to be there is the double confirmation.<br /><br />Just because they don't meet, usually on the fifth Tuesday is no reason for the TS to just print what they do every month. Why is it that you and some others despite instances pointed out seem to think so called mainstream media is above making errors.<br /><br />This isn't the last time and it won't be the first. I check the agenda every week and if it is on a day, there isn't a,meeting, I check with the clerk.John Chivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325700128778718091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681108704390260122.post-15100465800429049282016-05-29T12:06:32.101-07:002016-05-29T12:06:32.101-07:00Maybe, but usually they don't meet on the fift...Maybe, but usually they don't meet on the fifth Tuesday of a month.
