This morning's DNJ has one small article about our game and about three pages devoted to the team in prison-jumpsuit orange. Are they TRYING to go out of business?
I just sent a letter to the editor. Suggest everyone does.
I hate this new wave of journalism with this 5 things we learned and three thumbs up crap. It's so lazy to me. What happened to writing an actual article summarizing the game
It's printed at Gannett in Nashville.Just to see what the deal was, I picked up the hard copy this morning. The amount of text devoted MT was beyond pathetic. Did have a large photo and a smaller photo with five paragraphs (six total sentences) on the front sports page. On page three, there was another small photo and three paragraphs. I am going to assume it was be cause the MT game ended about 9:30 or so and probably pushed deadline. Does anyone know if the paper is printed in the boro, now or printed in Nashville or somewhere else
And I didn't mean my prior post to come off a a defense of the DNJ/Gannet as a whole. It is more a defense of the local people who work there who have seen budgets, salary and staff get cut to the point where - I believe - most of them would admit it is a sub-par product.
I don't think the DNJ staff is allowed to do as it would like, evidenced by them not even having a sports editor.
Noticed that the debate was over about the same time last night as our game on Saturday and, behold, they had big write-ups in the paper.
These days, DNJ is in the Sun Trust building--fourth floor is their offices. Think all printing is Nashville based, as with the Tennessean. I get the feeling its operated like a regional news bureau versus an independent newspaper covering Murfreesboro, Rutherford, and Cannon county. It also borrows some of USA Today for the national stories. I'm a Sunday only customer with online, these days. In my opinion, the quality is markedly inferior from just five years ago. I miss the good Ole days of it being operated by the Mid-South Publishing Co.
