Maybe if the Courier spent more time actually, and ACCURATELY reporting the massive corruption in local government, they would be too busy to worry about some rotating picture, that nobody else notices.
While their circulation shrinks, their ego, and sense of self importance stays intact.
Perhaps that will help them find new jobs, when they are laid off due of lack of circulation

The sad thing: I’m still dumb enough to promote the Courier-Journal multiple times per day and constantly push their top reporters on our network of sites.

Maybe I should start ignoring 5th & Broadway entirely.

Having worked at a major daily newspaper (not the CJ, and as an ad-ho, not a newsie), I can tell you that you have no idea how much the newsies so care about other websites, and how far up it goes.

They resisted having their own blogs for so long that most of them missed the boat (except maybe the sports ones. ) And they think blogs are a detriment to the facts. Dinosaurs.

My opinion with newspapers and blogs and other news sites is that I may not always agree with their opinion, but defend everyone’s right to say it.

Maybe you should have a contest for the best altered Courier Journal image.

Do you ever think the NYT gets pissed off when a hostage holds up a current edition to prove he is still alive? Do they sue the Hezbollah or Taliban, afraid people might think the Taliban is officially sponsored by the NYT?

Mr. Mura, you have got to be kidding?

I am a reader of PageOneKentucky. That’s a photo of a newsrack in a public location. If C-J would do a better job with coverage, blogs like PageOneKentucky wouldn’t be needed.

BTW, how nice it is that C-J is allowed to place rack on sidewalks, when other businesses are not.

Love the headline of the image – “What went wrong” The CJ is spending time and resources reading a local blog worried about what I will think while I watch a scrolling image. That what went wrong.

What went wrong will end up to more publicity for a small company trying to be stifled by a huge media conglomerate. In this case electrons trump barrels of polluting ink.

I tracetrt’d the supplied IP address.

To keep on my green rant today,

Hey CJ, What is the circulation and printed copies of your one use document.

How many trees are required for your annual numbers of printed pages?

What about landfill space?

How much fuel is expended delivering your one use document?

Do you use a soy based or oil based ink? if oil based do you support terrorism? :)

How much coal is burned to provide electricity for your huge presses to print your one use papers? AND

Is it illegal to read the CJ without paying for it. example, my friend buys a paper then I read it? should I mail in 50 cents to you?
