The mayor and the community relations initiative, part III

Are you as ready to let this die as I am? I will do my best to make sure this is the last post here on Mayor Holliday and the city's community relations initiative. Here's today's news release from the city. I'll let it speak for itself, except to say that when we get news releases like this one, which we received last week, we put them in the newspaper. It's really a common journalistic practice.

The link to the initial "media advisory" is broken.

I really don't understand why the mayor would have regrets since the information was sent to "all media sources".

What he may be regretting is the end of an era - "all media sources" are not government's machinery to be handled and spun and manipulated.

I am going to request being added to be added the city's litany of "all media sources" because I am a media source. If the City grants (or refuses to grant) HoggsBlog such status might make for an interesting aside to all of this.

I'll keep you posted.

As the late, great Jerry Clower always said, "Knock 'em out, John!"

I couldn't have put it any better.
