After seeing the shrinking paper and the dwindling stories, there was no way for them to survive. It's really a shame because, in their heyday, they covered the local sports teams weekly. Now it was almost no coverage and very little reason to even open the paper.
Growing up, I used to enjoy my weekly local community paper—in print.
The streaming of the meetings is good, but they used to have this thing called “dropping a dime”…
You always have tik tok at least for now.
My memory of The Post editor's opinion pieces when I was a kid are about what you'd expect from Happy on the DB
Your kids may have seen one. Have they visited any museums that may have included them?
Who in the neighborhood got arrested,who sold their house and to whom. Scores of Games of All Level of Sports that we’re Final by print time. When I go on vacation to places that still have “Newspaper Stand” I always buy 1 or 2 while I’m there.
I've been saying this for years. With newspapers disappearing and cutbacks at other media outlets, it's incumbent upon schools to communicate their news and self-promote to the wider community.
I'm amazed just scrolling through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, some schools are great at it, some do next to nothing. Parents/ schools talk all the time about recognizing the students, what easier way?? You control 100% of the content, with many papers it was only if they had room and some of the content was chopped off. To me it would be worth a staff positions just from the PR standpoint to have somone in charge of making posts on school activities. Sports, band, academic awards, recognition of teachers and staff. Without a doubt school delays and closings.
Check out Newspapers.com. It has archives of past events. I decided I wanted to do a little research about my local high school football program. I was amazed that I was able to read about them in the 40's when they were only playing 6 man. There were team pictures for every year. Fascinating stuff if you like to read newspaper articles.
Why?
In a thread about the decline of journalism.
Because the history of what happens at the high school level is disappearing before our eyes. There was a time when ALL high school area games were covered with at least a small article and box score. Now it's hit and miss. Some schools do a much better job than others, but the ones that don't, there are gaps of coverage for their sports for years and years.
The truth dies on the internet, when the activist pukes pull the strings.
Far more alt-right websites which you cite on here regularly not to mention all of the misinformation that gets passed around social media.
As long as the levies keep passing, libraries will remain open. When we are finally taxed too far, the levies for libraries will fail, as the left will further consume itself.
They provide so much more than books, in our community. I hope we never feel the need to no longer support them. They seem to be one of the levy funded functions staying within themselves, regardless they are popular and could enrich. Metroparks? Eh, playing way above their heads here I think, TRYING to grow while people blindly vote without seeing what they're doing.
Cleveland and Akron Metros are thriving. Perhaps Toledo's should begin exploring state park partnerships, so that they do not degrade and become under-patrolled danger zones ? The feral humans will fill any vacuum, and destroy what they touch.
They ARE supposed to echo what the community wants. I'm not sure I take your meaning.
