Newspaper opinions
Several good newspaper columns published today:
Clark Hoyt in the New York Times writes about the difficulty newspapers have writing about themselves. So true, particularly, as in our case, the newspaper is privately held. We could do better.
Kate Perry at the Minneapolis Star-Tribune writes about how a newspaper chooses stories for its front page. Their practices seem to closely mirror ours.
Ted Vaden at the N&O writes about a topic dear to our letterwriters' hearts: John Edwards' hair. We haven't done a lot with his hair, I don't think, which could be interpreted either as ignoring a flaw in his character or prefering to focus on more serious issues in the campaign.
Ted Diadun at the Cleveland Plain Dealer writes about why newspapers seem to be constantly changing things. Dead-on right.
