I am used to seeing the local rag print the same story on consecutive days. I am not that surprised when I read a story twice on the same day. But to print the same story twice ON THE SAME PAGE beggars belief:

A4 - Tennessee - "The annual lottery to see..."

A4 - Offbeat - "The annual lottery to see..."

wow. always wondering if they have an editor or whoever figures out where stuff is printed in the paper

From the looks of it, I suspect their ad sales department is larger than the editorial department.

[Goldwingnut]

The advertising department supports the editorial and all other departments. It’s a business just like almost every other newspaper.

Of course it does. But the editorial content is the product. If the product is bad, subscribers quit and advertisers dry up. At least in theory. Here, businesses seem willing to spend ad dollars on any thing you wave under their noses. And the local daily publication has no real competition for local news. Which they print less of.

Do they have a living breathing editor or proofreader?

This is a great opportunity for the critics of the Daily Sun to start up their own newspaper. It's obviously a very simple business to operate.

Funny, you all apparently read the happy paper. How else would you know all this? I like it and read it every day. I get news and info from many sources, this is one, another is the paper. All have strengths and weaknesses. Suggestion: If you don't like it don't read it.

Still have credits on paper but still don’t want it. Wonder if I can get money back?

I cancelled my subscription years ago, when I realized I was only reading the sports...and that didn't last long enough to finish even one cup of coffee.

What do you read now? Enlighten me.

This thread just confirms the smart decision we made 2 years ago to cancel the daily fish wrapper.
