The Pathetic Greenville News


Aug 31, 2014, 2:25 PM

They might as well just shut this publication down and just put a small insert in the USA Today with obits, etc. First I pick up the Saturday edition to take a closer look at Fridays high school action. Have always had a special section devoted to the high school games. What do I find? Two generic recaps of the Daniel, and Wren games, and a listing of statewide scores. Then Sunday I look to see the articles concerning the Clemson/USA matchup. A fairly generic recap of the game, and then one article with side notes. Most which could have been written Thursday. No quotes from either coaching staff. All of this for a game that had been anticipated for months I emailed William Fox the managing editor, telling him what a trash of a rag the GNEWS has become. I do hope others will do the same. His email is wfox@greenvillenews.com. If they can't cover local high school game, and complete coverage of Clemson (which is where they have hung their hat the last couple of years as claiming to be the Clemson paper of record) any better than this, then they should quit pretending to be what they claim and just reprint the articles from USA Today that dominates their paper. I suppose the Herald Journal or the Anderson Independent, can have my business. But email Mr Fox if you will and call them on their crap coverage.

Why are you reading a newspaper?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

all newspapers are pathetic now


Aug 31, 2014, 2:39 PM

compared to 15-20 years ago.

Yet they have doubled/tripled in price.

I read a newspaper every day of my life up until about 8-9 years ago. It got thinner and thinner but the price went UP.
The newspaper industry has no basic economic concepts. They'd get way more circulation (and higher ad rates) if they charged less, not more.

I now buy a Sunday paper maybe once a month. Mostly for the sales ads if I'm shopping for an appliance or furniture or something.

At least you don't have to read The Charlotte Observer
like some of us.

It's economics. If you have less demand, the price goes up.***

So you are saying you don't like the paper?

You could have read all you wanted about the game online within an hour of the coaches' press conferences and you could have looked at about 100 more pictures of the game. In fact you could have watched thei press conferences instead of just read some quotes the next day.

I really don't understand why anyone buys a newspaper. The people buying the paper are for lack of a better word "suckers" for thinking any newspaper makes enough money to give the buyer a quality product. You are likely expecting more from the newspaper than it has become possible for them to deliver.

Thanks foe your thoughts. Unfortunately I will not be changing my lifestyle in order to be like all of the normal people. I have read the morning sports page for 60+ years and will continue to be the town 'sucker'. Please excuse this one fault that I have.
