Newspaper Decides To Shoot The Messenger
Stamford Advocate Website Steps Up Web Media, Bans StationStops.com From Comments (?)
This article is critical of the Stamford Advocate family of websites, and its not my first. However, it is specifically critical, and it is constructive criticism....
...the story about the Beating and Robbery At Riverside Walgreens still does not have the security cam photos (we have them here).
Previously, I had commented on these stories on the Stamford Advocate website and let their confused readers know that I had the images discussed on my website. However, my comments seem to not be appearing on the Stamford Advocate website anymore 
...From the email response from Stamford Advocate Marketing Services, it would seem that the issue is a workflow problem, where editors submit the text copy and rely on web producers to follow through with media prior to website publication...
...when a large newspaper chain like the Stamford Advocate/Greenwich Time/Norwalk Advocate will not consistently publish photographs of persons wanted by local police on their website, they are really dropping the ball on a longstanding public service in the newspaper community...
...If the Stamford Advocate wants to keep their own photographs limited to print publication, thats fine and entirely their right to do so. However, when they are provided photos by public officials which need to be widely distributed in order to be of any use to the local police, they are failing their community by not publishing them on their website in a consistent and timely manner.
