Sweet Irony
^^^^^
These are exceedingly grim times for the Times-Standard. Business reporter Erin Tracy was laid off earlier this week, casualty in the latest round of editorial cutbacks at the paper. The region’s only daily newspaper, the T-S is now down to a grand total of five full-time news reporters. Together those five are somehow supposed to cover an area larger than the state of Rhode Island, seven days a week.
That said, we hate to put our colleagues through any unwarranted pain. And though we’d stand by much of last week’s “Media Maven” column criticizing coverage of the Humboldt Creamery scandal, it came to our attention Tuesday afternoon that there were some errors contained therein. To wit: The T-S‘s original story was not 400-odd words in length; it was over 900, all told. The paper had published 16 reports and editorials by the time our paper hit the streets — not 10, as we had written.
The Journal regrets the errors, and urges our T-S brethren to soldier on with heads held high.
