What's your local paper's uncomplimentary nickname? |
|
Seems like they've all got 'em; XemaSab talks about the Penlight (Record-Searchlight) in her city. Hereabouts, the Free Lance is known to many as the Fifty-Cent Lance, and a few miles north the Dispatch is the Disgrace.
What's yours?

22. B-Minus is an old joke |
|
Around 1980, CSU Fresno (often erroneously called Fresno State) parodied the Fresno Bee with a paper called the B-Minus. It had a huge A1 hed that said something like 'LOCAL MAN INJURED IN HUGE EXPLOSION,' and beneath it a tiny subhead, 'Idaho wiped off the map.'
I sorta know the editor of the T-S. She used to be special sections editor of a paper near here.

Like in "The Paper," when the wire editor's talking about what's in the wire budget and after each story about people killed in Beirut or somewhere says, "...none from New York."
All news is local. Or so the saying goes. :eyes:

But the Sentinel's a pretty good paper — one of the best of its size in Kollyforniya. And Schmuel Thayler is an outSTANding photographer.
I used to work with a couple of their reporters, Stacey Vreeken and Wallace Baine.

40. Oh yeah? What did you do? Are you in journalism? |
|
My dtr's 3rd grade class just had a field trip to the Sentinel a few weeks ago, which I signed up to drive on. I hadn't been inside before and we got the full tour. The paper actually celebrates 150 yrs of being in business this year, making it THE oldest biz in Santa Cruz Co., actually. I didn't know that little factoid.
What was striking about the actual tour we took was noting all the modern ways they use to create the daily newspaper, using computer technology. and yet the juxtaposition of it being in the same building, printing it ON premises, for the past 40 years. That's a LOT of dirt and grime build-up, esp. in the printing press room, believe me. It was interesting.
My daughter was particularly thrilled with the SC Sentinel pen each kid got sent home with.
Before parenthood, I used to sell display advertising for a newsweekly in Santa Cruz called The Sun, kind of what The Metro is now. It brought back memories to be in that news print scene again...working on deadline, the stress, the pressure....I don't miss it, but I had some fun, I must admit.

Until a couple of years ago. I was sports editor, then city editor of the paper here.
In the mid-'90s I was a sportswriter at the R-P in Watsonville. Stacey was features editor and Wallace was cops reporter.
It is a rather fascinating process, isn't it? What always amazed me, even after years in newsrooms, was how it all comes together to crank out a new paper every day.

I was one of seven people fired from the paper here a couple years ago in an effort to increase profits.
I miss elements of it — the camaraderie, the odd newsroom humor, deadline adrenaline, being among the first to know.
I don't miss the business end; it's ugly. The suits are all about selling papers and making huge profits while editorial is about reporting news as accurately as possible, but the suits want us to do it with a minimum of resources. Oh, and don't offend any car dealers, since they pay the bills.

51. Yup, you've totally got that right. It's always about the almight dollar |
|
and pleasing the advertisers. I can't count the number of times my advertising accounts would want some special sort of "write-up" on their business just because they were buying a damn ad. :eyes:
I also have fond memories of feeling like I had my hand on the pulse of the community. I got comped to a LOT of free concerts back then, too, which was really fun. I liked the social aspect of it, the best.
That sucks that you got fired. I'm sorry about that, buddy.
Well, at least you can get appreciation for your oddball humor here in the lounge. :hug:

55. I can't count the number of times |

I wrote or edited those stories — always at the publisher's insistence. :grr:
We weren't allowed comps in editorial. Used to get scads of tickets to the San Francisco Boat Show (a promoter over your way, Pete Ciccarelli, puts it on) and I'd give 'em to the ad manager to give to clients or whatever.
When I was sports editor, though, I got a very touching gift from the high-school cross country team. They'd never gotten any coverage before, even though they were a perennial league champion and section powerhouse, and I covered 'em because I thought all prep sports deserved coverage. At the end of one season they gave me a team jacket with my name and "Thanks" embroidered on it. I broke down and cried when I saw it, and it remains one of my most prized possessions.
That's one thing I really miss from writing sports: the kids. They kept me young and helped me keep perspective.

They've pretty much said that they won't cover Governor Corzine unless it is a story that is embarrassing for him politically. They didn't even cover his inauguration despite the fact that the newspaper is located less than 5 miles away from the event.

77. The Conway Scum when I lived in NH |
|
I don't read the Sarasota Herald unless it's about the missing groom or Paris Hilton's new shoes.

78. What about The Baltimore Sun? |
|
It's just "Da Sun" in Bawlmoran, but that is not bad. What would it be? The Scun "In the Scun today, tits and inflation."???

79. Honest to god, not a nickname: Chattanooga News-Free Press |
|
I don't think they're in business anymore, or have now merged with the other Chattanooga paper. The hyphen was not a joke; it was the paper's actual name. Made the Chattanooga rag the laughingstock of Southern newspapers.

And a fine example of another reason papers shouldn't merge.

I wouldn't care if the paper was in Venusian. I'd be a cappy hamper.
Anyway, there's always the Province.

at least that's what the wing nuts call the Arizona Daily Star. They think it leans left and compared to the Repulsive (see above) I suppose it is...
the alt weekly gets called the Weakly or Tweakly.

It used to be called the "Daily Union Democrat." Now it's just the "Union Democrat," which is odd because this is a red county.

101. LOL I was thinking of that one when I first saw this thread. |
|
I still read the online version a couple days a week.
Back in the late 70's when I first moved there, the county was more blue than red, if I recall. Now, it is definitely red.
BTW, I will be up that way sometime in May.

Instead of Ann Arbor News. In Lansing, it's the Lansing State Urinal instead of State Journal.

108. Grand Republican Press |
|
Edited on Wed Jan-25-06 10:09 AM by ih8thegop
They've basically raised Repub guv candidate Dick DeVos to sainthood.
They were also the only paper in the state to endorse Bush. Even the Detroit News withheld an endorsement.
It doesn't help that quite a few Repubs (including DeVos) live around here, but that's no excuse.
