RJ Plea for Help

Poor Old Thomas Mitchell - He still doesn't get it. His article today was about THE GREAT JOB THE RJ IS DOING.

He doesn't mention - Giving the reader what they want or, Being Positive on Local Issues or, Ending the HATEFUL EDITORIALS.

NO. He blames - " Wall Street's demands for healthy profit margins no matter what."

He BRAGS  = "More than 47 million people visited online newspapers in September alone."
But here are Drudge figures =
009,611,442 IN PAST 24 HOURS267,669,032 IN PAST 31 DAYS3,537,637,224 IN PAST YEAR

Why is DRUDGE SO important to readers? HE give people WHAT THEY WANT.

Mitchell didn't mention the World Wide News Services like = FT or RSS.

He ends his column with = "We are working to make sure the Review-Journal will be relevant."

HOW? What changes have they made?

The REAL Problem with Writers is, they think, at least, 1,000Words can present ALL on ANY Subject.

One of the REASONS for the success of USA Today is - Short, to the point, Easy to understand articles.

RJ Writers seem to feel the MORE WORD they use, the better the article. NOT SO.
