06/09/09 ANOTHER BAD IDEA FROM HEARST NEWSPAPERS: Greenwich Time Wants Regional Bloggers Instead Of Local Blogger

Who Is Going To Read This Crap?

Is Greenwich Time Editor David McCumber On Drugs?

The Worst Blogs on the Web Are At The Greenwich Time

Hearst Connecticut Media Group Interactive "Executive Producer" Keith Whamond Is Definately On Some Kind Of Drug If He Thinks Greenwich Residents Are Going To Be Interested In Reading These Boring And Hyper Regional Hearst Newspaper Blogs


Dear Greenwich Time Readers,

To all our readers at the Greenwich Time, welcome to the Connecticut Media Group’s brand-spanking-new blogging platform. We think you’re going to like it.

We’ve got blogs about our favorite restaurants, about parenting in 2009 and about toxic soil in our communities. From high school bands to the New York Yankees, and pumpkins in Hartford, we have our communities covered.

But we’re just getting started.

Here’s the pitch: We think there are tons of stories to be told within Fairfield County — far more than any one newsroom could ever tell. So we’re reaching out to you to help get those stories told.

If you live in Fairfield County, we want our blogs to be the place you go to stay in touch with the world around you. And we can’t do it without you.

We want you to help us. Send me an e-mail below. Let me know your blog idea, a brief sample of your writing style and, most important, what aspect of Fairfield County you’d like to write about — our music, food, sports, health, technology, traffic and commuting, barbecuing, bars, whatever. Together with our first-class journalists, your blog will help get these stories told.

If you’d like the chance to get featured prominently on four Web sites that together average over 9 million page views a month, drop me a line.

We’re looking forward to reading about you.

Keith Whamond

THE GREENWICH TIME'S BLOGS ARE BA BA BA BA BA BORING AND NOT ABOUT GREENWICH .........

Here are the Greenwich Time blogs that depressed - er, uh - impressed us the most with their lameness.

For every real innovative and inspiring Greenwich based blog, there is at least one Hearst Newspaper fake blog that is a dreadful alternative.

This is what happens traditional media outlet trying to to enter the digital age by putting out a new blog and pretending to be citizen journalists..

It is painful to watch clueless Hearst Newspaper media members trying to latch onto this new form of information distribution.

Hearst Newspaper's MSM (MainStream Media) Blogs haven’t been executed very well by Keith Whamond.

Without Further delay here’s some of the worst blogs we've come across that are run by any media outlet or media members…

These HYPER-REGIONAL Greenwich Time Blogs Are Just Plain Pitiful

The Greenwich Time website is just becoming a vast wasteland of bull crap.

These Greenwich Time blogs are so blatantly unnecessary in the Blogosphere that you wonder why the Hearst Newpaper President Steven Swartz hasn't just shut the whole operation down and call it a day.
