![]() ![]() That unprofessional breach of basic journalistic standards compromises the non-daily, non-newspaper at every turn. USA Today/Gannett forbids its affiliates to employ copy-editors. In fact, the only way to contact a human being by telephone is to threaten to cancel.ħ. The New York Times as well as I have tried to reach them. Many subscribers like me do not receive their New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or other national newspapers that are delivered by Dispatch carriers. Subscribers can no longer reach a human by telephone or email. When it reduced delivery, it cut payments to carriers.Ħ. Can anyone explain these disconnections to me?ĥ. At the same time, reports of numbers of subscribers and estimates of readers steadily decline. As the contents of each edition shorten and weaken, and delivery problems worsen, price of subscriptions mount. Despite many subscribers’ requests, it refused to extend prepaid subscriptions appropriately and fairly when it reduced the number of issues by almost 60 per year, thus elevating the price per copy. Under orders from corporate, like all other USA Today/Gannett non-dailies, it does not print or deliver on Saturday or holidays-that is, when it delivers at all.Ĥ. No one know who manages-or mismanages-the website, or from what location- not the editor-in-chief, others editors, or the “community engagement” manager who responded to readers’ questions before they fled the sinking ship (to Kansas City, a terminated 31-year leading reporter tells me).ģ. This results often in the same news being printed twice in the same edition, once from USA Today or Associated Press, once from Dispatch’s declining number of reporters. Thus, readers are not permitted to comment on selected right-wing essays that come from such operations as Heritage Foundation, one of USA Today’s funders and a holder of a seat of its Board of Directors. Selection of articles and some opinion essays is done by USA Today/Gannett. It no longer has any editorial, contents, copy, layout, or website independence.Ĭhaotic page and section layout is done in Austin, Texas. It is part of the monopolistic, profiteering, unadmitted right-wing, and anti-news USA Today/Gannett chain of more than 230 no longer daily newspapers plus many other online sites. I strongly suggest that it closes its doors, refund its subscribers, and compensate the remaining 70 of its recent 200 employees.ġ. Other than gross profiteering, it no longer has a reason to exist. Never a responsible, reliable, or honest newspaper, the Columbus Dispatch, Columbus, Ohio’s only mass-if declining by the day-circulation, no longer daily and no longer news-paper, no longer resembles a legitimate element of the media. ![]()
