There were two puff piece education stories that I read because I always read the ed stories. One was about Morgan Park’s program to get kids to be nice to one another. I expected it would mention the Lincoln students that would soon be going to Morgan but they weren’t mentioned.<\/p>\n
In the old days as recently as a couple years ago I could expect to be buried in the local paper for at least an hour a day. I’d always have NPR playing in the background but I usually tuned out the radio broadcast in favor of the written word.<\/p>\n
Its really sunk closer to the level of the Budgeteer while ironically the Budgeteer seems to have become a much more serious local paper although it appears only once a week. <\/p>\n
I wrote a letter to the editor a week ago about how diminished the paper seems by taking corporate Presidential endorsements but didn’t bother sending it in.
