08/24/11 The Earthquake That Was Felt In Greenwich Is Still The Talk Of The Town, Despite The Poor Local Coverage In The Greenwich Time

THE GREENWICH TIME'S LOCAL NEWS COVERAGE IS A JOKE

Hearst Newspapers daily illustrates a point on what’s wrong with much of the “local news media” today.

The Greenwich Time's news gatherers with great access to specific click of the town's news makers and they are inclined to ‘pitch them softballs’ rather than ask the more important in-depth questions.

The good news (pun intended) here is that access is rarely an absolute requirement for solid, in-depth reporting. In fact, with smart research (clue sniffing) and an understanding of the beat they cover a news gatherer can dig deep and drill out the facts to develop a good story with.

There is a reason that the money losing Greenwich Time can only distribute 5,000 to 6,000 papers a day and that the New York Times has a better penetration rate in the area.

Greenwich Time reporters just run town hall and board of education press releases through the spell checker, before hitting the publish button. If the Greenwich Time wants to stop its steady decline, then it needs to get and hit the bricks and talk to the towns taxpayers and parents..

Yesterday Greenwich Was A Buzz About The Earthquake And The Greenwich Time's Website Had No Local Coverage And Regurgitated Connecticut Post Reports Out Of Bridgeport.
