The Diffrence Between Two Newspapers

We always talk about the main stream media. They talk about the public service they do for people but sometimes they only do a half a story. Don't you wonder why the media cannot hold readership, I should say subscriptions?

O K , who caught it and how important is it to people today?

I will leave this open till I see if any of my three readers get it.


Update 5:30 pm.

Dad was close (not really) but John hit it out of the park. Way to go John. Sorry no prize.

Does the Press Gazette have no common sense? Does it not want to sell papers? It does not matter if it's online or in the dead tree version, if they are publishing a public service then print and give people the whole story. Why didn't the PG post the link to the surveillance footage in their article Maybe crimes would be solved if more media outlets will give more information in their articles. what would it take, an extra minute on the computer?

I only bring this up after I received a call from the Gannet Company asking me if I want the PG delivered to my door. Are they kidding! And the media keeps losing readers, keeps laying off employees, keeps losing money, slants the news from the left and one by one keeps shutting down. What do you expect?

Let's give the Shawano Leader an atta a boy on a job well done. I might even subscribe to the Shawano Leader.

Thank you to my two readers for participating.
