How not to publish a newspaper - labeling edition


The Times Ledger provides space for a label on the front page of their papers, but their labels don't exactly fit in it. The Times Newsweekly says they aren't going to put a space for a label because it would be "discriminatory" to their newsstand customers. Meanwhile, their paid subscribers can't read their front page stories...

You gotta love journalism in this town.

This has irked me for some time, but not nearly as much as the pathetic excuse for reporting the times ledger slaps together and prints each week.

Compared to the Ledger, it's like reading Shakespeare.

The Times Newsweekly's label has bothered me for months now. Maybe this will make them take more notice and correct this error.

I don't understand why they don't put the label where there is no print.

I guess they want to lose subscribers.

Someone is too lazy to do their job right!

The Times Newsweekly is my FAVORITE community rag: murder and mayhem galore! Just like the National Enquirer was before Generoso Pope Jr. bought it. Car crashes, Bill O'Reilly and tons and tons of photos of people standing in the middle of the street grinning at the lens. It is true honorific amateurism brought to the level of the sublime.
