The problem comes with news-gathering, as opposed to analysis. You need to do breaking news, reporters on scene, and you need video (although you can fair use what’s out there) - and that’s where expense comes in.
You also need to gain trust, and that may be hardest of all.
I'm on my last legs with the Freep. I do not give a damn about what Mitch Albom thinks about anything, and I'm getting advice columns as headlines on the home page, and why am I paying for this? runs through my head quite a bit.
I’d be a harsh editor, but context is everything. If you’re running a piece on “social media reaction,” fine. But to present that comment as a piece of “journalism?” No. Not paying for that.
I’m like the Trump judge with the Freep, one more chance.
Would hazard a guess that Wenceel played more games as a Whitecap than any other. No bobble head or org attention for him though. Keith, Jung, and Jobe this year.
Hey Tigers fans - don’t waste your money on the @MLB radio app. They are stepping all over the broadcast with commercials. You’ll never hear the score at inning break. Cut off the wrap-up show yesterday.
@Audacy is MUCH better and it’s free. 3 games in and I’m making the switch.
Funny how Sinclair’s @wwmtnews can’t wait to report Bad News for Biden every morning, but hasn’t mentioned Trump’s threat to cut Social Security. It lead at CBS. 🤔
Obvious who they “serve and protect,” and it certainly isn’t us.
“While his own party has been silent, at least officially…”
This. Is. The. GOP.
Instead, we’re in for another round of “let’s blame the voters” while political leadership and their corporate stenographers keep downplaying the threat.
No, @MLive, I will not be disabling DuckDuckGo. If you and others weren’t so obnoxious with the pop-ups, I wouldn’t have needed it in the first place. Also, your new font sucks.
Very sad about the death of print, but I’m really tired of all the hassle placed on the customer.
My carrier refuses to pick anything up. Delivered mail to wrong address, twice, left it out w/ note, he let it sit. Forget outgoing mail. Solicited food donation, and then wouldn’t take it. Wants my name on the box, which is not a requirement.
Remember how I used to advocate for @USPS? No more. World’s worst service this entire year.
FYI: if your printer dies on a click and ship, the PO will NOT print the label for you unless you have the QR code. The receipt they sent did not have it, of course.
Little later it dawned on me digital would give them the ability to do surge pricing - bump everything a dime during peak hours. Be careful what you wish for.
It would have to be regulated so ha ha ha we’re just screwed.
