The Dayton Daily news might as well expand it's coverage area to Include all of Warren and Butler County. That way we just have Dayton Daily News, and Cincinnati Enquirer.

By Terry Bouquot Staff Writer A letter from Terry Bouquot: Dear Readers, Welcome to your new Journal-News – a major metro newspaper for those of us who live and work in the northern Cincinnati area! Our news team has been hard at work focusing our efforts on in-depth and investigative coverage of the topics that matter most to you. We’ll dig deep into issues like jobs and the health of the local economy; health care issues affecting the quality of local care; government waste; the quality and cost of local education; crime concerns affecting your personal safety; and balanced political coverage. Here’s what sets the new Journal-News apart from other Cincinnati-area newspapers:
And all of these stories and the latest local news can be found on the new Journal-News.com website. As I told you in September, I am very excited about the new journey we’re on. I live and work in the area, and it’s important to me personally that we provide the best and most important news for our region. Oh, and a whole lot less Dayton news too! Please let me know what you think. Your feedback will make us better.
Sincerely,
Terry Bouquot Senior Director of Business Operations |

True Bo. The Middletown Journal was gone when the local writers, editors and publishers weren't Middletown residents. Less and less news from the Journal and more filler about Fairfield, Hamilton and Cincy instead of actual Middletown news. I started noticing a difference in the 80's and stopped taking home delivery then. The once decent paper ended up non-interesting garbage in the end with absolutely no objective journalism in sight. The final nail in the coffin for me was when they started supporting the MMF and their followers. JMO |

Ok Terry Bouquot, I'll take you up on your offer to contact you on feedback. You mention in your letter about government waste. You can start in Middletown by reading the posts on this site. That should get you started in your investigation of city finances, politics, select city-favored groups in town receiving special treatment while the general citizenry goes un-noticed. How the deck is stacked with relation to council make-up and who sponsors whom. You can investigate just how the over-saturation of low income Section 8 has had devastating effects on the town's resources. The heroin upsurge here. You can investigate how the city leaders get grants and other government monies such as those designated for energy conservation and how they used that money for a bike path. How they constantly re-channeled monies from one fund to another in a "laundering" attempt to lose the money under the shell game guise and funnel it to non intended usages. How they have financed their little downtown dream so far using taxpayer money. A lot of stuff within these pages to catch up on. One could make a career just investigating the crap that has occurred here since the 80's.
Let's see what your new paper is all about. Are you strong enough not to be swayed by the power brokers and their pressure to print what they tell you to print? Or will you be like the Middletown Journal and only print "The Good News"? |
