Posted on November 7 at 12:28 p.m.

Monday I received a telemarketing call from a highly energetic News-Press sales rep. She said that management was really interested in feedback from their subscribers, and they had taken that feedback to make great changes to the paper. She was pushing a highly discounted 12 week subscription, and encouraged me to subscribe and look for lots of holiday savings. I informed her that management had never shown any interest in my feedback before, and that I was skeptical. Eventually she threw in the towel.

Wouldn't it be nice if News-Press management decided to truly listen to subscriber and citizen feedback, instead of driving us away and treating us like morons? They don't seem to acknowledge that there are many other outlets these days for those of us who want to stay informed.
