Not to compare any Booth Newspaper with the New York Times, but when they have a negative story about themselves, it gets covered. Take some of the high profile plagiarism issues that they have covered on themselves.<br /><br />A newspaper loses credibility when it treats itself differently in a news sense than it does everyone else.<br /><br />At least there should have been a paragraph that said:<br /><br />"Dan Gaydou declined to release the amount of the sale....." That would have at least told me that the reporter tried to get the information.Jim of L-Townhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03941398804273985677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086537183354417004.post-12052114404655191282012-02-08T14:25:50.152-05:002012-02-08T14:25:50.152-05:00What kind of lead is that for a news story? "...What kind of lead is that for a news story? "The head of Downtown Kalamazoo Inc. is pleased ...?" Oh, thank heavens! I was so worried that Kenny wouldn't be pleased!<br /><br />Finally, a few grafs down, we get to the news: <br /><br />"Kalamazoo-based Phoenix Properties announced plans Wednesday to buy and convert the 87-year-old Gazette building for multiple commercial uses, including office, retail, possible light industrial, and possible residential."<br /><br />Then, just to give the story unity, it ends with this: <br /><br />"He said he is also very pleased to have a local developer involved ..."<br /><br />Good for you, Kenny. I, for one, am displeased.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086537183354417004.post-81370435346187284362012-02-08T14:21:26.269-05:002012-02-08T14:21:26.269-05:00Yeah, Jim, you're right.
