We were talking about "The Crier" and the online addition.<br /><br />You know, you could "delete" those sections that you rarely get around to updating...it wouldn't be any less effective than what's happening now, and wouldn't make it painfully obvious that "the bow-tied one" really doesn't care for electronic media, and is stuck in the last century.<br /><br />If you've let yourself become "the indispensable employee" shame on you!!! Good management and good editorship requires that you delegate effectively, not do everything yourself.<br /><br />You not only suffer because you're harried and overworked, but the paper and the community it serves suffers because the information that you're presenting is out-of-date by the time you present it.<br /><br />Please don't take this personally, but professionally speaking, you know your understaffed and I doubt that pure economics is the reason why.<br /><br />ChipChiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330185723991647590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-25893568620735643822010-05-11T19:52:16.054-04:002010-05-11T19:52:16.054-04:00^ That's what I was going to say if you e-mail...^ That's what I was going to say if you e-mailed me.

I'd love for you to walk in my shoes some Monday when I've put in about 13 hours, then wake up Tuesday morning and spend about two hours working to post our current edition to the website before 9 a.m. You'd probably lose your enthusiasm and good humor about mean-spirited posts too. <br /> Cathy Cobbs<br />Managing Editor<br />Dunwoody CrierJulie Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316411794822324412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-40946619140002429902010-05-06T21:23:44.888-04:002010-05-06T21:23:44.888-04:00I tend to agree, Kim.I tend to agree, Kim.RBRENTADAMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17006571529408793767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-1406469968194960652010-05-06T20:48:14.223-04:002010-05-06T20:48:14.223-04:00Let's also note that blogs are for interaction...Let's also note that blogs are for interaction, not just pontificating. For me, that this the line between news publishing and blogging. Online newspapers can be both but they tend to only do the publishing part well. While blogs tend to be better at the opposite.<br /><br />Vive la difference!Kim Gokcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11599713243186694545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-6388477257339596122010-05-06T15:27:09.736-04:002010-05-06T15:27:09.736-04:00Chip: Contact me privately for my opinions on that...Chip: Contact me privately for my opinions on that matter. RBrent.Adams@Gmail.com.<br /><br />Suffice to say... I hold some differing views on how the paper should be run than my managers. But it's their paper, so they have the right to do whatever they want to with it. And frankly, they've been right more often than not over me.<br /><br />But the fact my managers and I often disagree does improve the over quality of the newspaper. Holding dialogs on ethics and how the newspaper should be run are always good. Discourse leads to more understanding.<br /><br />As for bias... well, no matter how you look at the news, it's going to be biased. Period. Even the blogs that decry bias themselves are biased. This is why I tell everyone to take everything they hear with a grain of salt — including what I say. :)RBRENTADAMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17006571529408793767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-22694321254070311772010-05-06T13:30:33.403-04:002010-05-06T13:30:33.403-04:00Actually, The Dunwoody Crier has an on-line versio...Actually, The Dunwoody Crier has an on-line version that "occasionally" gets updated in-between the print version deadlines. <br /><br />Unfortunately, The Crier does a really inadequate job of keeping this current. For example, if you were to go to "www.thecrier.net" right now (May 6, 2010 @ 1:30 PM) and look under the "Dunwoody Daily" tag on the left (3rd down) you'd see the headline story is dated January 15, 2009.<br /><br />And, goodness knows, there is probably more stuff "submitted" to the Crier than can be printed in a weekly, that the on-line version would be able to handle. <br /><br />If The Crier wanted to be a real hometown paper....and, please don't let me start on the obvious biases of the editorial writers...<br /><br />ChipChiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330185723991647590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-71043407646989489772010-05-06T11:58:26.303-04:002010-05-06T11:58:26.303-04:00I had to respond, buddy.

If you want to read the musings and opinions of a good writer, go to Heneghan's blog.<br /><br />-R.
