Hard to climb back from out the hole they dug for themselves.<BR/><BR/>Relating it back to Mark Briggs visit. He mentioned that by far the most traffic to the Tribune blogs goes through the Seahawks blog. <BR/><BR/>Mike Sando who covered the 'hawks since 2005, won awards for the blog and got hired away by ESPN in July of this year.<BR/><BR/>Frank Hughes has taken over since then.Droid116https://www.blogger.com/profile/05434806942584240318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950265263808507619.post-45320991886119764622007-10-16T17:17:00.000-07:002007-10-16T17:17:00.000-07:00This is totally unrelated, but this is in response...This is totally unrelated, but this is in response to your comment on noisms post on sports: I really wish the Seahawks had beaten the Saints.<BR/><BR/>I'm a die-hard Falcons fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950265263808507619.post-47584835598254237432007-10-15T15:59:00.000-07:002007-10-15T15:59:00.000-07:00OK so 'family' newspapers are going the way of the...OK so 'family' newspapers are going the way of the dinosaur... decision makers are headbutting their heads against the desk trying to think of ways to re-connect with the great unwashed masses who are leaving for the undying lands of youTube, specialized blogs etc. <BR/><BR/>So the modern newspapers make sacrifices.

The results: an accelerated downward spiral of expectations from the population for which you're trying to win over. <BR/><BR/>Their argument is "we can't afford to have a local political cartoonist" My argument: "You can't afford NOT to have a local political cartoonist"<BR/><BR/>Even so, thank for pointing out the New Briggs blog! :)NineInchNachoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570704490314236932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950265263808507619.post-63559850146394081212007-10-15T14:38:00.000-07:002007-10-15T14:38:00.000-07:00I think the TacomaGnome should host a gardening an...I think the TacomaGnome should host a gardening and travel segment.Droid116https://www.blogger.com/profile/05434806942584240318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950265263808507619.post-44217229434124170632007-10-15T14:26:00.000-07:002007-10-15T14:26:00.000-07:00I think Mark should do an interview with the Tacom...I think Mark should do an interview with the TacomaGnome.
