From the October 1st edition of the Gazette of Atlantic & Cumberland Counties
One thing that is always great about a newspaper is its consistency. It arrives regularly and on schedule. We know you like that. Well, we’re bad boys and girls. We are changing the publishing date of the Gazette again. Our publication is back to arriving on the first of the month or quickly thereon. Publishing in the middle of the month was too confusing to us and you. Readers didn’t know when we were out or even if we were out. There were even rumors that we stopped publishing.
As much work as this is, and as much as I’d like to retire, how would I get my opinion heard? I doubt the Daily Journal, which seems to be hooked on decidedly right wing, conservative opinions and columnists, would publish me. They seem to have bought into the Fox News crowd. Our approach is a little different. We think you can man (woman) up and take some offbeat and alternative viewpoints as well as the mainstream pap.
It’s true, we have been selfish. We haven’t allowed you to freely comment on our content, but now you can react to our editorials and paper right here on our new blog. That’s right! Blast me if you have the mind to, or praise my twisted mind if you like—or comment on anyone else here. No profanity, indecency, racist or totally stupid comments will be published. It would be nice if you know to read and write and provide some reasoning behind your comments and opinions. Also, I put my name on my stuff. Have some courage and do the same and the town you live in. But have a good time. Your comments will be able to be Googled; you’ll have a presence on the internet, and it is nice to be heard and to see your words and thoughts in print.
Have fun with the kids on Halloween
