Cincinnati Enquirer abandoning city interests, by Randy A. Simes (UrbanCincy blog).
The answer to that may lie in the conversation I had with a content editor at the Enquirer three years ago where he said, “We tell the stories our readership wants to hear.” Encouraging right? The Enquirer does not care about providing fair/balanced news coverage, they care only about their bottom line and telling the story they feel their readers want to hear.
New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

If it's a Gannett newspaper, that's gah-NET ...
... as in net irrelevance pursuant to the hurried abandonment of journalism in favor of pandering to a vanishing readership as a glorified advertising circular. If anything about this smells like the C-J's bridge envy, and its shameless advocacy of this region's all-time great transportation boondoggle, you're free to draw perfectly appropriate conclusions.
"The Virginia-based Cincinnati Enquirer." I am thankful that the Atlanta-based blog, UrbanCincy, brought this to our attention.
ReplyDeleteSaying the Cincinnati Enquirer "abandoned city interests" is like saying Rand Paul abandoned the social justice movement.
