If the Bristol Press somehow survives all of this, close down the complaint department and complain no more!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-63925998094131198322008-11-18T12:54:00.000-05:002008-11-18T12:54:00.000-05:00I am sympathetic to the closing of the Press, and ...I am sympathetic to the closing of the Press, and to individuals loosing their jobs, however, it will not be the end of the world in terms of news. Bristol does have a weekly paper that I am sure can't wait until the Press closes to expand. Steve, contrary to what you might think, the Press never really gave us much local news either. There were many days when I asked myself why I was buying it, especially on Sundays. Sometimes when we stand in the middle of the forest we canot see the trees in front of us. The Press has been on a steady decline since the late 1970's. A defining moment in my life was when they stopped excepting local political cartoons from local artists who used to do a wonderful job lampooning people like Mayor Longo, etc on the editirial page. Do you realize how many people back then would buy the Press just to see who was being lampooned? Ninety five percent of the Press includes AP news and advertisements that you can get in any other newspaper. The closing of the Press will be sad in many ways, but I would not dwell on the local news coverage issue too long, because it really vanished years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-5268344954849195692008-11-18T12:08:00.000-05:002008-11-18T12:08:00.000-05:00I'm tired of hearing you whine about the Bristol P...I'm tired of hearing you whine about the Bristol Press closing.
