Too bad the high school papers over in JoCo now put the Kansan to shame.
ReplyDeleteIf they really want to honor past legacies why not try putting out journalism that is good for something other than toilet paper.
Just once I would like to see one of their "reporters" actually GO to the god damn story, instead of just making a phone call, playing solitaire, spitting out a paragraph and calling it a day...
I once submitted a story idea to the Kansas about a local scumbag. Instead of a “thanks for reading our paper we will look into it” form letter I received an acidic retort about what a great person said scumbag was.
I guess that’s WyCo journalism for you. The “News” in WyCo needs a reboot. I say better to let this paper die and start a completely new one, maybe hire some folks with degrees this time…
If you will notice that story is a "special to the Kansas" In otherwords, written by someone outside the newspaper that might actually know what they are doing.
Obviously, the first commenter hasn't read the Kansan in a long, long time. The comment is completely uninformed and untrue. As a lifelong Kansan reader I agree that the newspaper had problems in the past, but today the Kansan is one of the best daily papers in the state. I have no idea where "jesus" came up with his information: Kansan reporters are present at every council meeting, school board meeting and every other important event that happens in Wyandotte County (and not just KCK, but also Edwardsville and Bonner Springs). Today's Kansan is a paper Wyandotte County can be proud of - and the only people who criticize it are people who haven't picked up a copy of the paper in five years or more. Sounds like "jesus" is just disgruntled because the kansan wouldn't write a story about this supposed "scumbag."
