We're sorry
Wednesday mornings at The Citizen the last few weeks have
been a time for getting phone calls from people who have
brought news items in that didn’t appear in the paper. Some of
the callers have been understanding about the situation, others
less so.
The fact is that January, February and March are very busy
times in a community with lots happening at schools, lots
happening with clubs, lots of sports and lots of political news.
For people in business, however, it is not a time to make money
and thus it’s a time when advertising dollars are saved, not
spent. It means that the paper is smaller, often with advertising
to pay the costs of only 20 or 24 pages, not the 28 to 32 we have at
other times.
We’re sorry if it means that news items and meeting reports
have to be left out. Often the choice of what goes in has more to
do with the size of the article versus the size of the space
available rather than anyjudgementthat one organization is any
more newsworthy than another.
The only thing we can say that will improve the possibility of
news getting printed is to make the report as concise as possible.
Give only those facts that are interesting to readers in general,
not things such as the fact minutes were read or hymns were
sung.
We want The Citizen to serve the community as much as
possible. We need your help, and sometimes your patience, to
make it do that.
