Suggestions for the MSM...
Sometimes run pictures that tell a story that’s not “your” story...
Make cartoons larger.
Keep the print readable - newspaper readers are older - if the paper’s good, the young will grow into it... if it’s not you’ll never get them anyhow.
Explore new technology - Bill Gates can design a down-loadable flat sheet - don’t fight technology - bend it to your needs.
A newspaper is not a stage for “art-teests” to prance upon - it’s a medium to bring information to readers.
Readers interaction with your paper happens at the circulation level - monitor that department with your life...
Vanity circulation doesn’t help the people who are buying ads and supporting the paper. Don’t give into it. You offer value and must honestly give value.
Reporters and editors should be fired if they make up quotes, accept gifts ( that included coffee - make it water).
Mix in the best national columnists - again - the paper’s not a stage for local talent - it’s a vehicle for disbursing quality information.____________________________
NEW:
Real diversity: Add writers and editors who understand math and science - they have a different and important perspective - then hire a good rewrite man to clean up their writing -
Add conservatives for diversity of thought and for the 50% of your readers who are conservative.
Man bites dog might be fun to write - but it’s freak show stuff. A little goes a long way. When people say they want “good news” what they mean is news that reflects the reality they know.
Some of us think breakfast is coffee and a newspaper - we want newspapers to exist in the future ...
The only reason Biden was at the "Beer Summit" is because every circus needs a clown.
GW Bush with a former recruiter for the KKK! Scandalous!!!
