If that job was such a good one, wouldn’t one of those guys still have it? We employ two of them full-time and another part-time at Muddy River News. Somebody should point out that there are currently five former newspaper sports editors living in Quincy.Claiming to be the number one source for news and sports online…for now…maybe…although I’m sure the folks in Nauvoo appreciated the game story on the BYU-UAB football game in Sunday’s edition (pour one out for Joseph Smith).However, the paper is still owned by a large corporation it’s just no longer local. Admitting that money from television has been propping you up for years is strikingly honest, and the statement deserves credit.I don’t know what “reflect the positive values of the majority” means, but ass-kissing boosterism isn’t cool, although there is a segment of Quincy’s audience that still needs this type of adoration.If your “number one priority” is four things, then I guess you don’t really have a “number one priority.”.A transition of new computer systems is to blame for the decline in the product’s quality and content? Next time I have a typo, I’m blaming my keyboard.
Quincy herald whig vacation hold tv#
A TV Book is still a thing? My TV screen seems to give me all the information I need these days.The letter from the publisher in the penultimate Sunday edition of the old paper of record was long on excuses and there were a few observations: If you’re not going to pay full-time people a decent wage to deliver your product, then this is the end result when your operation essentially hasn’t changed in 20 years, except for a massive reduction in staff and stagnation in wages and benefits. The decision to switch to mornings and mail delivery led to this inevitable conclusion, and I get it. What is a little shocking is The Quincy Herald-Whig decided to stop printing a Sunday edition. Pulling another day off the presses (while still charging the same amount for subscriptions) isn’t surprising. They won’t be available in Quincy on Sundays starting in 2022. Not only comments, but texts were like, “Do you know something?”Īs I explained on social media, I was referring to the fact that students (or anyone else) may not pick up a newspaper much longer because they won’t be available. My too-cute by-half-remark was taken by many friends that students would no longer be attending games because of another COVID crackdown in Illinois. I posted the following smart-ass comment on my personal Facebook page: “Students won’t be able to do this much longer.” It’s a traditional welcome for many student sections, reading a newspaper while acting unimpressed by the opposing team.Īs I watched, I figured it was the first time many of the students had touched a newspapers in months or years. Now, it seems, they are clairvoyant.ĭuring Saturday night’s Quincy High at Quincy Notre Dame basketball game, the QND student section broke out newspapers to pretend to read while the QHS starting lineup was announced. Student sections are usually creative and entertaining.
