Sympathy of the commun- ity is extended to Elliott. Pinnell of Ridggetoawn in the loss of his wife, Anna, who editor's notebook Perhaps most frustrating and imitating for our readers, is the editorial policy of omitting stories or pictures in any one issue of the paper. Why must the church group or institute's report of their monthly meeting be left out this week? Why must the hockey report of that game our team won be omitted or why every time t bowl a score over 2OO is that the week the paper leaves out the bowling news? The first thing our readers must understand, is that any any newspaper is not only a community service reporting the accomplishments of people who live in the community, the births and deaths, the sports scores and meeting reports, a weekly newspaper is a business. The plain fact remains that if there is to be a newspaper at ail, it must be a financial success and stay in business. Readers must appreciate the absolute need for advertis- ing to take priority over news when there is not room for both. Consequently the editor is not free to run all the news she/he has in any one week. The amount of advertising an any one week aetermmes the number of pages the paper will be that week. The editor would enjoy nothing better than to say "I have 24 pages of news this week so we will run 24 pages". if we did that, our paper would soon go the way of other small community papers in our area which found it financially impossible to continue as viable businesses and were forced to amalgam- ate with larger papers nearby. The problem of space is especially difficult during January and February when advertisers experience a slow- down in business after the Christmas rush. Our papers are smaller during these months because there isn't the amount of advertising we carry at other times of the year. Space becomes tight and each week the editor is faced with the dilemma, whom she/he will offend this week, by leaving out their story or picture because there isn't space for everything that has been submitted. Believe it or not, the editor is not considering anything personal in these decisions. The editor attempts to be fair and objective. If a sports story is omitted this week, a church report or institute meeting will have to wait next week. if the Ripley column is omitted this week, the Dungannon or Kinlough column will have to take its turn being omitted next week. Being the editor of a small town newspaper is a difficult job when it conies to making editorial decisions. Readers who submit stories for the paper are easily offended when their story is omitted, especially when they do not understand the reason for the deletion. The economic recession has seen a decrease in advertising at our paper because businesses are closing and others are advertising less. Our paper once ran a regular 28 or 32 pages. in the last two years we are running between 16 and 20 pages most weeks. Our paper is small and while we appreciate the efforts of all our columnists and correspond- ents, we hope all our readers will understand when your report can't run the week it is submitted.
