The Dayton Daily News may be one of the biggest threats to our area’s pride. Negative slants, pointless stories, poor reporting contribute to Dayton having severe self-image problems.
The City of Dayton Street Maintenance department delivered this morning- with a plow, hitting my street (which is three blocks long) and the rest of South Park. This is what we pay taxes for- and it’s the first time in a long time that the City has impressed me in a “snow emergency.” (Here’s a [...]
There is a reason Gary Leitzell has learned not to talk to the media in Dayton- they play favorites, misquote, fail to attribute and generally skew the news. The push poll story was a perfect example of why when he does, it’s a waste of time. It’s always been known that Cox lives for fear. [...]
Fear makes the top story in today’s “Dayton Daily news”- with the headline “AF furloughs to cost $111M” Below that we have a story about the State of the Union address. I understand the “me first” nature of driving news- the news that will impact me comes first- but, the constant PR feed of the [...]
I used to be a subscriber 7 days a week. I read the paper front to back and hated to start the day without it. Unfortunately, towards the end, getting the newspaper on my doorstep before 6 a.m. was a major problem for them- and I finally gave up when they refused to match my [...]
The headline is: “Apple disappointment weighs on markets” Worse than expected earnings from Apple and Amazon were weighing on markets Friday ahead of the first estimate for third-quarter U.S. economic growth. Both firms reported losses after the market close on Thursday, contributing to a sour trading session in Asia. via Apple disappointment weighs on markets [...]
On the day after the Supreme Court’s historic ruling on health care, the Dayton Daily News chooses to publish a front page story on a tiny screwup by the Dayton VA. Coincidence? Or, an attempt to sell their rag? The VA medical system is the largest health care system in the United States, and unlike [...]
Front page of the Dayton Daily News, centered, above the fold. Photos of the four Republican candidates involved in the Feb. 22, 2012, debate in Mesa, Arizona. If we ignore the headline that places Romney and Santorum as the only two possible contenders, and just examine the picture spread, we have 2 candidates looking thoughtful, [...]
In today’s Dayton Daily News we get their first and perhaps last attempt to cover the candidates. A short bio provided by the candidates, a candidate-supplied picture and answers to two questions. This is a voter’s guide- not reporting. No reporter has called, they sent a reporter to one candidates night where no story was [...]
In today’s paper, we get to read that “Neuhardt running for 10th district” on page 3 of the local section. Really? The petitions were due over a month ago and approved. There are 6 Democrats and 3 Republicans running. The same press release can be found on her website: www.neuhardtforcongress.com, where it is the front [...]
