It's been a long time since I had time to fish, are they no longer run? If not, my guess is that it was a money decision. In a closely-held company, the ABJ will probably be able to aim for a lower profit margin and run more stuff like that, especially if they get a vocal demand for it. Like a local blogger leading a letter-writing campaign.<BR/><BR/>54<BR/><BR/>My point was that Cleveland always lets Cleveland drown out everything else. The blog coverage was just the latest manifestation of it.<BR/><BR/>Kyle:<BR/><BR/>People who want to dismiss editorials will always find a way to do it. If Advance had won the bidding, people would dismiss editorials as coming from Cleveland. Not much better. Plus Sound is an American company, so there is some buffer there. All in all, this could have been so much worse.Scott Piephohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05849171870929674248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-1149776013132405262006-06-08T10:13:00.000-04:002006-06-08T10:13:00.000-04:00I envision the ABJ's editorials being dismissed as...I envision the ABJ's editorials being dismissed as "Canadian" from here on out.

You don't want the Plain Dealer owning the ABJ because that would be too Cleveland-centric, but you think they should cover Akron bloggers? <BR/><BR/>Hopefully the new owners of the ABJ can make a run at being an actually readable paper. For now, I'm sticking with my PD section. I like a Sunday edition that takes more than 10 minutes to read.54cermakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697934538228318427noreply@blogger.com
