CPTV documentary on Press airs again Tuesday at 11 p.m.

If you missed it the first time around, you have another chance this week to see the CPTV documentary that used the near-death of The Bristol Press to talk about the meaning and future of newspapers. It's actually pretty interesting even to non-news junkies and it's extremely well done. Check it on CPTV at 11 p.m. Tuesday.

Steve, like I told you, seems like all your efforts were for nought: the Press is no longer a Bristol paper.

Appreciate your efforts anyway.

Newspapers tout themselves as being impartial and reporting the facts. Then you see they call themselves "The REPUBLICAN American" and it becomes as plain as the nose on your face what their political affiliation is and whose side of the story/issue they favor. Do these newspapers think the public is dumb? It’s laughable.

Steve, you should listen to 7:12. The Press has become the bastard stepchild of the New Britain Herald, a newspaper that has managed to survive for a century without ever being good. It's as bad now as ever.
You should do yourself a favor and find someplace worthy of your talents. That goes for Jackie, too.

Look at the first 12-14 pages of the Press and see how little is about Bristol.
They should be honest and chage the name.

Hey Steve, I watched the documentary last night for the second time. I think the producers did a terrific job capturing the importance of a local newspaper and its direct tie in with the community and its residents. You and your wife presented as extremely educated and loyal employees of the Bristol Press who could probably be making more money elsewhere. I personally appreciate all that you and your wife do in covering as much news in Bristol as you do on a, most likely, low budget with not alot of resources. Hats of to Mr. Schroader for taking the shot, and giving the residents of Bristol the opportunity to save its only true source of local news and sports.

I agree, it no longer is a "Bristol" paper.

And with it goes the town.
