We got our gratis copy of the
Tennessean's
"West End-Vandy" supplement, which apparently reflects Gannett's attempts of late to "go local." I guess that the
Tennessean thinks that lumping the North End in with the West End, Sylvan Park, and Belmont-Hillsboro is sufficiently local or this was just a one shot delivery resulting from the
Germantown Cafe profile that appeared in that edition. It may be local, but it is definitely not hyper-local.
That doesn't make any sense. In my opinion, this redesign by The Tennessean has been clunky and disorganized. It's trying to be too many things at once, and it isn't doing any of it well, if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't the Tennessean have a Downtown section, instead of 'lumping' it in with various other parts of town? Makes no sense at all.
ReplyDeleteYes. Perhaps they should do a section dedicated just to the block around S-Town Mike's house.
ReplyDeleteNow that would be hyperlocal. I want one for my block, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteIf they're lumping, wouldn't it even make more sense to lump you with East Nashville??? The demographics and neighborhood sensibilities, while not the same, are closer. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I was thinking just this morning that the Anonymous comments were actually better, more constructive, and less chicken-shit on Enclave lately. I jinxed myself on that one.
ReplyDeleteI agree that we are closer to East Nashville than West Nashville demographically. Downtown may not be as yet quite big enough for its own section, so why not lump us with East and Downtown?
you are complaining about a free paper?
ReplyDeleteI know. We should all be thankful for whatever gets thrown in our mailbox. Don't read it and then ask questions about it. That would be ingracious. It's a gift. Not newspaper PR. Not media marketing. So, don't question it. Only paying money purchases the right to question. I know that song-and-dance.
