Courier editors, it's clue time again: This is not an opinion piece. It's most of a news story written by the people involved, doing your job for you.
Today's mind-teaser: What sort of psychology does it take to lead someone, say a Courier editor, to see a simple story of people helping people as a political position?
For readers of the Daily Courier in Prescott, Arizona. Comment and discuss. Be nice, now.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:
There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.
If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.
If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
???????????????? man i just dont get this.... wait maybe if we sort of made a schematic of the paper and sort of put little signs and arrows on each section ..you know this kind of story goes here and this kind of story gos over here and you can only fit 300 words here so dont try to mutilate this 800 word oped piece to fit find something that will... spellcheck spellcheck spellcheck...( excuse me whilst I try to wipe the sarcasm off my hands , Thanks)
ReplyDeleteis TotT really supposed to be op-ed? seems like a place for general local gossip and rants by the editors' favorite extremists.
ReplyDeletei think this might be legitimate -- every paper needs a "miscellaneous" bin.
As Tim reminded me rather pointedly not long ago, the topline of the page says Opinion, and by implication nothing on it should be taken as news.
ReplyDeleteThe 'miscellaneous' bin is called Features.
Picky, picky!
