It’s been just about a year since the Eureka Reporter threw in the towel and ended Eureka’s five-year newspaper war. In a deal that’s never really been explained, the Times-Standard agreed to run the E.R. editorial/opinion page twice a week, Wednesdays and Sundays, putting Peter Hannaford in charge.
A “message for our readers” in the corner of today’s E.R. op-ed page indicates it’s the last: “We have decided to suspend publication at this time,” it says, making the pronouncement somewhat less than definitive. It left this reader wondering: Was the deal for just one year?

it leaves this reader wondering if BD’s restriction to address only entertainment issues was only for a month. Of course the NCJ will say the blog is not a news publication even though the editors routinely use the blog to correct mistatements published in the NCJ.

Unanonymous is the only one who still gives a fuck about Doran’s unforgivable transgression, whatever it was.
