Okay - I've posted stuff about the ND and I don't want to gum up the board with any more threads. So I'll just use this one. If you're not interested please skip over it.
As I've said many times, the News Dispatch is one of those hometown institutions that's been part of my life since I was a kid in Edgewood in the 50's. And to be fair they do get it right a lot of times. But in the last couple of years - apparently due to budget/staff cuts - the paper's really gone downhill. That's just sad - but it also pisses me off that someone in power is letting this happen. I'll not be posting Deb Sederberg gaffes. She's obviously a tolerated lost cause. So - today's rant. Is a 10-year-old running the online edition? How many times to we see pictures like this? Does whoever's doing that NOT know that you can't just take a thumbnail file, stretch it ten times its original size, and have it not look like crap? They do this constantly. From today's story about the park idiocy. First the thumbnail - and then a screenshot of how it came out. Again, it is incomprehensible that someone is looking at this and approving it. End rant. |

Did anyone else notice there was no one riding on the News-Dispatch float in Saturday's parade?

Wow - is that the real story? If not does anyone know the real story? Calling ND Reporter! None of us on the editorial side knew there was going to be a float. And I read in the parade entries that we were sponsoring the float for Moose 980 Boy Scout Troop 899. So... I cannot make any further comment on what I thought about it Necessary disclaimer: The views expressed in this post are mine and do not necessarily reflect the views of Paxton Media Group.

It would be interesting to know how this got to the float-in-the-parade stage without anyone from the ND knowing about it! |
