Is George Baker leaving too…? 
If there is a problem with the paper why don’t they put an end to all this suspician once and for all and let us know, but Oh wait, with the supposed “new” format, I guess that wouldn’t be “good news” Well, everyone, I guess we had better load up on our rose colored glasses as that is how we will be viewing the world from now on !
Who said George Baker was leaving? Also,
MiG, dude… lmao!
I sure hope I still have my job…
P.S. I smashed my rose-coloured glasses a long time ago in coffee shop Spain. Ugly bi-lingual event I do not intend to repeat.
No news is good news.
GO JAMES! They printed your letter today. I’ll bet it stirs something up - I’ll be watching the letters closely over the coming week. 
And the new editor wrote a (signed) editorial saying ‘damned if we do, damned if we don’t’ - people in Rupert tell our reporters that they are too negative, and now we are in trouble for being too positive.
Hey, she’s got a point - we Rupertites are rarely ever satisfied.
Yea, that’s a fair enough point. How many years have people here been referring to the ‘Daily Rag’ and ‘Daily Snooze’–now the place is up in arms when the new editor tries to take the paper in a new direction.
it is safe to say that you probably will enjoy the new Daily News.
Because you take me for someone who eats up propaganda? No. I don’t think the media has any business dumbing down what we read to make us feel happier–but I do see where the editor is coming from in her most recent editorial.
… and you’re okay with that?
Okay with what? That the paper will be biased in favour of good news? I’m not okay with it–and that’s why I might turn my eyes to The Northern View or Northern Connector more often than the Daily News. That’s my choice as the consumer. My dislike for what the Daily News chooses to print, however, doesn’t affect their right as a private newspaper to print it.
i rarely buy it now . should go to a weekly paper like the terrace standard no need for a daily here. read news daily online anyway . more info there too
Have you not noticed that aside from The Northern Connector featuring more Terrace based news, that the View and the Connector have exactly the same articles, verbatim no less, as the Daily News, only usually 2 weeks later ! Will they change their format also to accommodate the 'good news only" philosophy?
I wasn’t being literal–I was pointing out the fact that we as consumers don’t have to buy what the Daily News tries to sell us–but metaphorically and literally.
i have solved the mystery of the missing friday papers. they are down an embankment on the 200 block of forth east.
Clearly the handiwork of very clever wolves.
Me thinks the carrier who delivers on that route should have a lot of explainin’ to do
Have no idea who puts it out (maybe I should), but for local and regional stories, I find A Town Called Podunk a very worthwhile read. Good job.
I live in the apts by the library on 6th west and often find bundles of papers in the dumpsters as well… So I dig a few out for the buildings as we often go w/o Friday papers.
This is disgusting waste and needs to be stopped. The ciruclation manager needs to get on top of this … I think the paper did the wrong thing giving it out free twice a week. It’s a headache all around. Even paying customers often get missed on the ‘free days’
I used to be a carrier for the Daily News and I agree that the circulation department needs to get their act together. I also agree that the 2 free papers a week was a bad idea, and even before that, merging the Daily Extra with the Daily News was a bad idea.
